I used my chainsaw to cut down a 50 ft. sweet gum tree and chop it up. It was oiling the chain but I noticed as I came to the end that it was not cutting as well as it used to. After shutting it off, I tried to restart it 3 days later and the pull cord won't even pull. What's wrong with it and how can I fix it? Homelite Timberman 45 cc 20"
My pullcord worked the other day and now it pulls about half an inch then is jammed

Take starter assembly off and try to turn engine by hand, if it does then check out the starter. If OK take off the exhaust and look to see if there is damage on the face of the piston-upright lines-if so jack up tthe fuel cap and slide a new saw under as it is the most cost effective solution

if not thats probably it. also i had a chainsaw and the roller baring broke and jamed up the piston. best bet is to take it to get looked at by a pro any way just good luck :)
