Gee, do you think there might be a connection there?
Currently I have a Craftsman 16" 36cc.

Although I haven't used it much, it barely cuts and when I push it the blade
just stops.
I bet you put the chain on backwards when you assembled it.
Will the chain still drive correctly backwards? I don't have any
experience with putting one on that way And I don't want to go down to
the shed to look at mine (95 degrees here at 2 pm)
"Correctly?" No. Will it stay on and go around for at least a little
while? Yeah...DAMHIKT!!! (Not paying attention one day...

I didn't think so. Certainly not well enough to get as far as starting to
cut something and wondering why it won't. ...

Well, actually, it did stay on and I actually did put it to the limb
when it became patently clear I had screwed up...iirc, it didn't jump,
just smoked really nicely...
