Stihl 031av start assembly jams

Hello, I have a 031 av that i have replaced a lot of parts on and went to crank it over and i cant because the start assembly jams up. I replace the start assembly and when i pull the rope it will consistently jam up and only come out about 2 inches. It locks up to the point where it feels like the rope is going to snap. Sometimes if i give it a few short pulls in a jerking motion it will release and the rope will come out fully but it feels like it is skipping or jumping teeth or something inside. Any ideas?
 
Take it apart again and check to make sure you are doing it right.
