Take the saw back, let them show you how it works.

He has used it for a day , on Aspen , then he cleaned it with water ( inside the clutch cover ) and now he cant pull it over ..........It has to be the water ingress as Spud says .

Or the cover is on wrong

or there is shite stuck in there

or the chain is on wrong

or the brake got mangled

or he's pulling like a... well, like someone that doesn't pull with enough conviction

or something unrelated has happened by coincidental timing

 

quite a few more options still....

 

I can't see how a bit of water would seize it enough to make it hard to pull?

some surface rust, sure! but have you ever found a saw hard to pull the day after working in a torrential downpour all day? I haven't...!

Nope . Did leave my 372 on its side in the rain once and as Spud says the needle rollers stuck to the shaft and when you pulled it over the chain spun . Easily and quickly sorted though .

You don't get out enough.....seen it enough times to mention it!

You've seen a number of new saws seize or partially seize the very same day they got wet?

 

I thought I'd seen a bit, and I get about plenty, but I ain't never seen nuffin' like that!

I have seen misguided owners wash their machines with water and the water has locked up the needle bearings within a short period of time, hell....I did it myself in the early days!

Could be it. What's the way to cure it?

It says under the bar cover in the first post and it pulls over with the decomp button pressed, just sounds like he's not pulling hard enough or he's put it together wrong. Is he putting it on the floor and standing on the handle or trying to drop start it ?

I was staring it on the floor with my foot on the handle. Now this very strange. Put the original bar back on. All ok now. Had put the sugi bar on. Will check to ensure it was the correct bar I have received
