Good advise Tim and Paul.
You might also try, removing the air pipe, pumping some mineral based
oil into the cylinder, then reconnecting the pipe back up and working
it a few times to rebed the seals if they have become dry and set.
I've got away with doing this to air clutches that haven't been used
in a while.
