Newer stihl ms170 hard to pull over?

[chevyforlife21]

Got this saw 9 months ago only ran maybe 3-4 tanks through it. Pretty much that same day. Otherwise it's been sitting besides letting it run for 5 mins here and there. What would do that? Rings sticking from not running a few months? Seems to be running on the rich side runs good though

Take the muffler off and check the cylinder,piston,rings. Sound like is toasted.

Make sure the chain has not got wedged in between sprocket and washer that holds it on.

It will be slightly harder to pull it after break in since it will have a bit more compression. Some of those little things really thump when they're broke in right.

Wouldn't it get easier to pull once broke in since the rings are probably stiff right now?
