Hi all=20

I've got a Husqvarna 55 rancher chainsaw... few years old but low =
hours... seldom used. Need to remove some trees so I pulled it out to =
get ready... here's my problem

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 =
should) and I can see piston moving up and down the cylinder...  so the =
reciprocating parts are working????

so I'm thinking maybe got a valve stuck and compression is holding the =
saw... this saw has no compression release=20

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 =
something might free up...
hoping I don't have to tear this thing down..

help ??

thanks

john
