    Why won't my Craftsman CMXGSAMY42N6 Chainsaw engine start?
    • J
      Johnny NavarroAug 13, 2025
      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.

    What to do if Craftsman CMXGSAMY42N6 Chainsaw saw chain rotates, but does not cut?
    • K
      Kara MooreSep 8, 2025
      If the saw chain rotates but does not cut, it may be because the saw chain is dull, so sharpen or replace it. Another reason may be that the saw chain is on backwards, so check and correct the saw chain direction.
