   hmmm, Is your "long adjustment handle" a lever? A lot of jointers use a lever with an up/down motion to move the table. If this doesn't solve the problem you might check the gib adjustment. If the gib is too tight, you won't easily move the table.

   The long handle is not a lever a far as I know.  This jointer is very similar to the 6in delta or the yorkcraft.  So, the motion on the long handle ("pole" maybe a lever) would be up and down to slide the infeed table.  I am hoping it is not the "gibs".  Should I try looseing all (3) the gib bolts?

   Thanks for your help.

   Works great.  The gibs were too tight.  Thanks for you help.

   Sounds like the infeed table lock is engaged. My Jet has a spring loaded pin which prevents table adjustment >1/8". The Yorkcraft may not have this feature.
