No as I can turn the drum freely wit no issues. My question is if the drum turns does this mean that the  engine is sized?

When it wont pull over any more is it because the engine is coming up on compression or is the stop a bit more "mechanical"?

 

Take the plug(s) out and try turning it over, if it still locks up it might be "mend it with a new one" time

As you pull the cord out does it feel like it’s turning the engine over or is it just taking the slack out of the pull-cord mechanism (ie the engine is completely seized). 

I’ve managed to free of a seized (water in the cylinder and left to rust) Honda GX engine before now by pouring a load of wd40 down the plug hole and leaving for a couple of days then cracking it over with a bar on the end of the crank - it still runs perfectly on our jetwash 5 years later but it was a lucky save (and I only attempted it as a last resort before binning the engine).
