Cranking it without the plug isn't dangerous is it?

Not in my lifetime.
I wish you a long life. :-)

Pulled the plug. Gave it a few yanks on the cord. Tried again. No start.
Monday I'll take it to the saw shop, and tomorrow likely rent one for a
few hours.

Taking out the plug and just pulling it a few times does and proves
nothing. Was the plug wet indicating flooding? Did you attemp to check
for spark. Starting fluid would be something easy to do that might
make it go. Its only dangerout taking out the plug and pulling the
cord when you stick you foot inside the cilinder.
