Why won't my Craftsman CMXGSAMNN4216D engine start?

  Your Craftsman Chainsaw engine might not be starting due to several reasons: * The fuel tank could be empty; if so, fill it with properly-mixed fuel. * You might not have pressed the primer bulb enough; press it 10 times or until fuel is visible. * The engine could be flooded; in this case, move the choke knob to Position 2, press the throttle lockout, squeeze the throttle control, and pull the starter rope. * The fuel might be old (over 30 days) or improperly mixed; drain the fuel tank and add fresh, properly-mixed fuel.
