Landing gear problem (was "oh! crap")

[big al 08]

did exactly as you perscribed and all the results were what you said to expect. ok what does this mean? why when i tried to pump the gear down the hand pump became pressurized only after two pump cycles? does that mean the cyclling was out sync? or ? orginally when the gear trailed and the pump didn't work i recycled the gear and it came up, then selected down and got the green and landed okie dokie.
thank's rick
