How to start a Craftsman CMXGTAMD27SC Trimmer when the engine won't start?
- J
  Jennifer VazquezAug 8, 2025
  If your Craftsman Trimmer engine won't start, several factors could be the reason. First, make sure the fuel tank isn't empty; if it is, fill it with properly-mixed fuel. Ensure you've pressed the primer bulb 10 times. If the engine is flooded, press the throttle lockout, squeeze the throttle control, and pull the starter rope until the engine starts. Old or improperly mixed fuel can also be a culprit; drain the tank and add fresh fuel. A fouled spark plug should be replaced. Also, make sure that the choke lever was flipped according to the Starting Instructions.

  If your Craftsman Trimmer engine lacks power or stalls, the issue might stem from several causes. Old or improperly mixed fuel is a common culprit, so drain the fuel tank and add fresh, properly-mixed fuel. A dirty air filter can also cause this problem, so clean or replace it. Lastly, a fouled spark plug can lead to power loss or stalling, so consider replacing it.

How to fix a Craftsman CMXGTAMD27SC cutting head that will not advance line?
- M
  Mr. Mark WilliamsAug 18, 2025
  If the cutting head on your Craftsman Trimmer won't advance the line, several issues could be at play. Start by stopping the engine and cleaning the cutting head if it's bound with grass. Check if the cutting head is out of line and replace the air filter. If the inner reel is bound up, refill the cutting head with new line. For a dirty cutting head, rewind the line. If the line is welded, open the cutting head and remove the welded section. If the line is twisted, rewind it. Also, make sure enough line is extended: stop the unit, push the bump knob, and pull the line until about 4 inches are outside the cutting head.

  If the cutting line on your Craftsman Trimmer advances uncontrollably, it might be due to oil, cleaner, or lubricant in the cutting head. Clean and thoroughly dry the cutting head to resolve this issue.

What to do if my Craftsman CMXGTAMD27SC Trimmer engine will not accelerate?
- R
  richardevansAug 28, 2025
  If your Craftsman Trimmer engine won't accelerate, consider these potential causes. Old or improperly mixed fuel can prevent proper acceleration, so drain the fuel tank and add fresh fuel. Check if the cutting head is bound with grass; if so, stop the engine and clean it. A dirty air filter can also restrict engine performance, so clean or replace it.

Why my Craftsman CMXGTAMD27SC Trimmer engine will not idle?

  Garrett MooneySep 1, 2025
  If your Craftsman Trimmer engine won't idle, there are a few potential reasons. A dirty air filter can cause idling issues, so clean or replace it. Old or improperly mixed fuel can also be a factor; in this case, drain the fuel tank and add fresh, properly-mixed fuel. Finally, the idle speed might be incorrect, so you may need to adjust it.
