I have a Homelite XL and was having problems with rope pulling from difficult to unable to pull rope while trying to start saw. I removed the muffler, squirted some WD40 through the exhaust port ABOVE and BELOW the piston compression ring. Then pulled the rope about 20 times without spark plug to fully lubricate the piston and cylinder. Left it till the next day, pulled it through about 20 more times, put the spark plug back in,and it works well now. Guess it was just gummed-up a little and the lubrication freed it.

SOURCE: Husqvarna Chain Saw Rope Pulls Very Hard, what is the cause?????????
Has it always done this or has it developed?
Some saws have a decompression button to make it easier to pull over.
SOURCE: Pull cord on chain saw will not retract.
make sure the spring is going the right direction when pulld,put spring back in recoil housing carefully if you do it to quick it could spring back on you..... yes it hurts. after you have the spring back in the recoil housing take the rope off rope rotor.that's the piece that holds the rope.always replace to rope even if it looks good...feed new rope on rope rotor, first heat he ends of the rope so it will go in the holes easier.tie a hove hand knot in on end of rope.....put rope in rotor and pull knot thight,feed rope onto rotor until you have no more room for rope.... there should be a notch in rotor for rope to lay in....install rotor and screw tha hold rotor in place....have recoil handle handy....holding on to the rope spin the rotor two rotations....install handle......please be careful

Wear saftey glasses...
hold the middle coils and keep pulling the outer coil slowly hold the spring with long nose pliers. keep tightening it up un till its smaller than the case hole...
make sure its on the right side..
SOURCE: spark plug gap
hi kathy. this is an easy one. first of all you will need a spark plug gapping tool, about a dollar at any auto parts store. Your chain saw most likely calls for PLUG TYPE: Champion CJ6 SPARK PLUG GAP: 0.025 in. (0.63 mm).
Here is the website of a short video to show you exactly how to gap the spark plug. write back if you need any more info.

SOURCE: HARD TO PULL CORD WITH SPARKPLUG IN CHAINSAW. IF
sound like hydraulic lock,try leaving the spark plug out and pull it quite a few times with the spark plug hole facing the ground, this should shoot the offending fluid out.
might work ?
