Maybe... Some solenoids need input pressure to work?

Anyways, this morning I was able to get the cylinder to creep to midpoint by telling it to stop a little bit above the midpoint and it equalizes slowly. Also, it I tell it to stop too late, then it creeps all the way down. Could this have something to do with the lever action of gravity on the extended arm? Could this be fixed by using a spring to act against the arm?

Thanx
