My 2 yo Stihl MS250 is really hard to pull. I pulled the Spark Plug and the cord pulls easily with the plug removed, so no bent shaft or starter issues. The muffler looks clean, although I did not have it off. The cord was much easier to pull after replacing the plug, for a while at least. I had it running for a few seconds, but then it seizes up, so it seems to be running hot.
The plug looks like it needs to be replaced and it is idling too fast, as the one time I had it running (briefly) and took the brake off, the chain was spinning at quite a clip while idling.
So I need to change the plug, adjust the idle and check the muffler. But I fear it's not that simple, although it does pull very easily with the plug out.
Thanks
