If your Craftsman Chainsaw engine will not accelerate, consider these possible causes: old or improperly mixed fuel (over 30 days), which means you should drain the fuel tank and add fresh, properly-mixed fuel. Also, a dirty air filter can prevent acceleration, so clean or replace the air filter.
What to do if the saw chain does not rotate on my Craftsman S145 Chainsaw?
If the saw chain on your Craftsman Chainsaw does not rotate, several factors could be responsible. The saw chain tension might be too tight, so adjust it. The guide bar and saw chain may be assembled incorrectly, so refer to the section on removing and installing the guide bar and saw chain. The guide bar and saw chain could be damaged, so inspect them and replace if necessary. The chain brake might be engaged, so disengage it.
