Broken Pull String

The pull string/rope on my Dad's chainsaw broke. We rewound it but now it does not fully retract the rope after starting the chainsaw. Does the spring need to be pre-tensioned a couple of turns before attaching the rope?

Yes, it is possible that the spring needs to be pre-tensioned. its also possible that something was put together a little out of alignment, or some part is too tight and its too hard for the spring to wind in the chord. try to reassemble the chainsaw with a couple more turns on the spring and see if that helps.
