chainsaw advise

I’ve gotten my hands on a Husqvarna 162 chainsaw, and when I try to pull start it, the cylinder won’t go all the way to the top dead center.

So I'm a newbie. I've done a little bit of clearing for work, so I'm comfortable with saws. Planning on getting some vacant land soon and figured I'd need a saw to clear stuff on there/fire wood. I have this condition where instead of buying a new, working machine, I'll buy an cheap broken...
