1995 Sportsman 400 Compression release
My 1995 Sportsman 400 4X4 wont start. At first I thought the battery was just not powerful enough because is was struggling to turn over so I charged it still wouldn't crank. My recoil was broken so I replaced it and realized it was so hard to pull it felt like I was going to rip the handle off and it would just about move. So I removed the spark plug and it cranks freely with both recoil and starter. I'm thinking it must be compression locking some how. I looked in the shop manual and don't see anything on compression release so I'm stumped. Can anyone give me some advise as to what to check next? It's like the exhaust valve is stuck shut but it's a 2 stroke.....

Oh ok I apologize I read that wrong. I wonder how it would do if you attempted to run a compression test?
