late last night i snuck out to the garage and tried to turn the flywheel by hand. couldn't get it to go.

it was late so i didn't have a chance to open the muffler. Something tells me that by not being able to move the flywheel by hand it is not a good thing?

thanks again for all your help

As for the starter drum ,they've used the exact same for years on lots of saws . Early on they were aluminum instead of nylon though .

You could have something stuck in the cylinder .Try gentley turning it backwards .

Later this afternoon I'm going to do a thread in the Mac section about a big old 125 that swallowed too big of a pill and got a tummy ache .To outcome is good and with luck might be on the saw in question .

check to make sure the coil hasn't come slightly loose and worked it's way into the flywheel.
also, it looks sort of like the pull cord had wrapped itself around the pulley. from what i can see in the blurry pics ;) i could be wrong. it's been known to happen. ;D
when I grow up, i wanna be an adult.

  Take the muffler off and look at the piston,ring,and cylinder for scoring.

Take the spark plug out and make sure you are not liquid fuel in the combustion chamber .

I have a small engine which will do this occasionally.  If I took the pull start off it turned freely. I just figured it managed to stop TDC or something & needed help getting past the break-over point. Was able to use the electric start & had not problem. Engine is still in use.
