Hi
I have a Stihl av 038.
When it pulls over it fires….
But it’s rare to be able to pull it over, because the pull cord locks up.
I have tried everything… flywheel ok, pull cord and assembly ok, piston and rings look intact from exhaust and carb port.
If I undo pull cord assembly and turn the flywheel with spanner it frees up again… untill it jams/locks up again.
Everything else is working. Good compression ect.
Even with spark plug removed… still locks up every rotation or other one.
What could it be? Tearing my hair out here. Lol
