My pull start cord keeps getting stuck when i try to start it. I replaced the spring and pulley but it didn't help. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

When you replaced the spring and pulley- was everything correctly aligned? Did you tension the spring before simply winding on the string?
If you remove the starter cover off of the saw, does the starter act normally? As in full rope extension and retraction.

The rope retracts fine when the starter cover is off the saw. I replaced the starter pulley and spring and it still gets stuck but not every time when i start the saw.
So something is incorrect in fitment, or alignment within the starter side of the saw and is catching/binding during operation.
Starter pawls would be the first guess- the bits that engage the pulley.
Photos of the internals may help detail the fault.
