Default 221 Hesitation Question

I am going over the FW 221 I just bought and notice that as I get to the highest point of the needle coming up, it gets harder to turn the handwheel. Once I'm past the top and the needle is on its way down again, it is easy to turn the handwheel. I have oiled, greased and run the machine and it has gotten easier after that but there is still a hesitation at that point.
The machine will sew, but I have to turn the hand wheel to get it started.

Any ideas on what to do next?

Thanks!
