Poulan 2-cycle engines are used in chainsaws, leaf blowers, weed eaters and other equipment. The carburetor is set at the factory before the unit is sold. Adjustments occasionally need to be made to Poulan 2-cycle units. If a unit runs in idle, runs too fast, stalls or dies, it may be necessary to adjust the carburetor. This will keep the unit functioning properly. Prior to any carburetor adjustments, it is important to follow all product safety precautions.
Turn on the Poulan 2-cycle unit. Allow the engine to idle.
Allow the engine to idle.
Find the idle speed screw located near the unit's primer bulb.
Turn the idle speed screw counterclockwise to decrease the Poulan engine's speed. If the unit is turning or moving while in idle, the speed is too fast.
Adjust the speed by turning the idle speed screw clockwise. If the unit stalls or dies, the speed is too slow.
Tips & Warnings
Contact a Poulan authorized service dealer or customer assistance if you are unsure about performing carburetor adjustments or need further assistance. You can reach the customer assistance help line at 1-800-554-6723.
