New to stihl equipment. When i try to pull start the saw, the cord is very stuck and occasionally will allow to be pulled a short distance then extremely stuck again. The cord handle says elastastart on it and this model doesn't seem to have a decompression valve button.

When i remove the spark plug it pulls effortlessly, i tried turning it upside down and pulled it numerous times, no fluid coming out so it's not hydrolocked.

I found people mentioning valves needing adjustment on stihl trimmers and blowers. But i cant find many videos or info about the TS saws online.

Any help is appreciated.
