If it's not off spray it with wd40 or something and try again later. Don't use air gun. There usually is an arrow or something but you have to go clockwise, hit to the front of the saw. Stihl sell a good, plastic piston stop for about $12, part no: 00008935903 A.
please dont use a chisel--if hit just wrong, could bend the end of the crankshaft---
