You shouldn’t need to take the valve core out, but if you’re not getting “hardly any air” into the tire, something is wrong on the inflation side.
It could be a number of things, and is probably a combination of things. What kind of compressor is it; how much does it flow; and what is your hosing diameter? Which inflator head are you using?
If you don’t know the answer to those questions, you haven’t thought enough about the situation, and if you had, you had, you wouldn’t be in this situation.
Let us know where you’re at, and we can begin to offer some suggestions, otherwise just buy a Park INF-2, because that’s the best inflator head you can put on any compressor.
