Which one is it?

When spinning it dead cold, it only spins about 1/4 of a turn. It definitely is not free spinning. Quite some resistance.

I bought a used working fan coupling either way(Seller showed video of it working and it is only 2 years old), but just curious as to the correct test procedure.
