The engine is likely new? If so, this is normal. It is highly advised to preheat the engine before starting to relax the mechanical “pinch” at top dead center (TDC). Do NOT turn the engine over cold when new - especially 3.5cc and bigger engines. They destroy pullstarts because the engines are so tight.

Now I now what you mean by gummed up.. ( the little blue bubbles building up and dripped out of my tubes ) :
Got my Car started pretty quickly after the advice to preheat the engine block .. and the engine was probably flooded that's why the pull start was so hard.
And Boy , does the my new clutch that I installed grip !! :
Now I now why I have a 2. gear on the clutch gear wheel .... I can actually hire the car shifting into 2. gear .. sounds amazing !
Had to ramp it up for you guys so you can see and listen :

Just wanted to do a follow up on here.. I always preheat my engine up now before starting and noticed if I loosen the glow plug a little when its harder to start, it gets alto lighter to pull.
