Sounds like those 2 cylinders need new seals on the pistons inside the cylinders.

Thanks for your reply. After much head scratching I took the right hand cyl loose from the machine on the top pin fully extended the cyl manually, filled it with oil, reinstalled and it worked as it should. Don't know yet how it lost oil, no sign of leakage. Thanks, Swede

Now you can get see how long they will work, or how they work the next time you use it after it sits.
