I have two husky 61's. Both have got to be very hard pulling to start. Seem like the compression is too high . What causes this?

Carbon buildup?

Pulley or rope.
Carbon buildup.
Excessive fuel mix or chain oil in the crankcase (hydrolock).

Maybe the rope has been changed to a thinner rope, or maybe the pulley has cracked.
