Been working on my 372 getting new crankshaft seals installed and now that I got it all back together my crank won’t spin. What could be causing this? Acting like it’s locked up and bogs my saw down when I start it. Any tips would help a lot, thanks

Chain brake is on- locking the clutch bell?
Incorrect assembly, something binding?
Something fallen in and lodged between case and inner face of the flywheel?

Strip it back down each side of the crank- flywheel back off, clutch and oil pump back off- check crank rotation then.
If you went as far as having the cylinder off the saw- something could be inside the crankcase jamming crank lobes to case.

Is it possible the seal on the pull handle side is pressed to far in?? (rubbing on the bearing) I might be having a similar issue but not sure mabye thats not the issue
