help my chainsaw has gone wrong

Hi can anybody help me?
Typical thing, good weather comes and you go to do some work in the garden ready to enjoy your nice shiney machine and suddenly it dont work no more.
I have a Stihl MS290 petrol chainsaw and I was using it today and suddenly when I went to start it by pulling the cord, there was hardly any resistance and it didn't seem to be turning the engine over, just a bit of clicking as i pulled the cord. It did still return home so not sure what could be wrong. If it was some sort of return spring then surely the cord would not return, it would stay out. So question is what could be wrong that would stop it kicking over.
Its was a new machine when I got it but I may have had it a while now, probably over a year.
Any help appreciated.
