Hi all=20
I've got a Husqvarna 55 rancher chainsaw... few years old but low =

when I pull the starter rope it will only pull out about 6" and I get =
serious resistance.=20
Chain brake is off
choke is set to on
chain moves when pulled manually around the bar.. ?????=20
so I remove the spark plug and try it again... rope pulls freely like it =

reciprocating parts are working????
so I'm thinking maybe got a valve stuck and compression is holding the =

I'm stumped ...any suggestions ?? Right now it's sitting on the bench =
with the piston at TDC and full of penetrating oil.. thinking maybe =
