I bought a new Poulan pro in 2008. After each use I pour the gas out, start it and run it out of gas, clean it and store it. It has never failed to start by second pull. Great saw.
Just got 5 from TSC returns Seems they all have the common problem and easy fix They will be sold in a heartbeat 😊 Love fixing chain saws and these are so simple and easy
I just put a new carburetor on this evening. Had the saw since 2008 never had a problem with it. I keep fresh gas in it, I use 50/1 fuel. Piston looks like it is new. Was just going to change the fuel line's but the carb kit was so cheap I just replaced it to. Not bad for a 15yr old 100 dollar saw.
Thanks, I have the exact chainsaw and exact problem. It ran so good for years so I would have never guessed it would have been a simple adjustment. I ordered a new carb/tune up kit. So wish me luck.
I just got 5 from a store and they all are like brand new and fuel lines and diaphragms bad Only one needs a new air filter and fuel filter Dumb the fuel after using and purge out carb and dump again will stop 99% of the problems with them
Tracy, im not a chainsaw guy but i had a Poulan xxv and that saw when i purchased it didn't even have a chain brake. It ran forever and i finally retired it 2 years ago. I put the next size bar and chain on it and loved that little saw. I did have to put fuel and one pull rope on it. Everyone rags on poulan today so their quality must have went down. Very good video and you are getting closer to 1,000 subscribers my friend. Who gets there first you or the Rooster. Can't wait! 👍😎Roger
I have had several Poulan saws over the years and just bought a 5020 . The biggest thing is they send the saws with the gap too tight , so you just about have to check all the new ones. .025 is manufacturer specs . I run a brand new saw a little when I get it and pull the spark plug out again and blow out the cylinder by pulling on it with the plug out and check my plug for assembly bits of metal , occasionally I find them , even in a large generator I bought. Check for scoring and if none move on, it seems to be the nature of modern small petrol engines. Mine runs top notch .
That was something how you used two saws .the one you had no the table was a new saw with a old bar and the one you started on the floor was a new saw with a new bar. Dont get me wrong ilove these info shows I have two saws that I love but stop runing..this helps alot now I know more what took for.
Same saw, same bar. Look at about 6.23 in the video and you will see the Poulan Pro is upside down just like when it was on the floor. I film honestly and don't try to pull the wool over someones eyes. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend, I like that you are paying attention. We hope our videos help you out my friend.
I got a complete tool kit with all types of small engines from EBay for $15 shipped. If you buy a new carb it comes with the tool. There’s no 3 week wait
My brother passed away a couple years back from Cancer and he has this exact chain and I was wondering if this specific chain saw takes mixed gas or straight ole plain gas??? Thanks
I have a 3516 had it running gave it back to customer then he said he couldn’t get it started then I got it back put new carb in and I can’t get it started never ran into a issue like that it has spark fuel and new carb any advice
I have this same Poulan saw and almost as new and it's doing the same thing as this one in the video is doing. I don't have the spline tool to change the settings. You shouldn't have to do this much adjustment/pampering on a new saw to keep it running. I could understand if it was heavily used and for a lot of years, but not clean and new. To make it worse they make you get a special tool to adjust the gas.
Yep, I understand my friend. My personal saws are a Husqvarna 350 and a Stihl ms180c. The Husqvarna I've had at least 15 years, never fails me. Go get a Husqvarna, Stihl or Echo. In my opinion that's you best one's on the market. Yes, if you have to adjust the carburetor on almost any 2stroke you will need a set of those special tools.

They will be sold in a heartbeat 😊
Love fixing chain saws and these are so simple and easy
Nice 👍
Was it the carb? I bought a return from TSC it ran for a few minutes and stopped
Thank you. Setting the spark plug gap did the trick.
I need one of those stickers my man
Email me your address and I will get one heading your way.

Papapaaa
I think it's a good idea to take the carb apart and clean it like you did. Another good video. Nice stickers!
Thank you. Yes especially since we knew it had been sitting up a while.
Great information
Thank you for doing this, even if it does not work on my Poulan POS at least you are trying to help
It will run
Great video , thanks for sharing, you make it look so easy , excellent explanation of adjustment screws on carburetor.
Love an honest tech. Great job
Thank you sir. I called the customer today and told them the news. They were so happy, it was her father's saw.
Very clean! Was it ever used?
I just got 5 from a store and they all are like brand new and fuel lines and diaphragms bad
Only one needs a new air filter and fuel filter
Dumb the fuel after using and purge out carb and dump again will stop 99% of the problems with them
Yeah I got it going. Sometime you need a little help. Thanks again 👍
Love all of your videos, Thanks again. Never to old to learn something.
Yey another awesome job... nice looking sticker ya got there fella
Thanks brother I appreciate it you designed it lol
Good job Mr Raley!

Yes sir, the old Poulan was a much better saw. Not sure, probably the Rooster. Lol

Nice work and nice job on the video too. Good lighting, sound and editing. 👍
Great informative videos. - Thanks for the decal - 🙂
thanks brother
Nice one brother, and great looking stickers!
Thanks brother!!
Greetings, Do you know what goes into that tiny hole under the metal plate that fits over the chain bar bolts?
i enjoy your videos
Thank you, that makes me smile. We really appreciate you watching and commenting.
Your a genius
🤣 nope
God Bless You
whats the base line setting? L H and T idle screw????
My brother passed away a couple years back from Cancer and he has this exact chain and I was wondering if this specific chain saw takes mixed gas or straight ole plain gas??? Thanks
Mixed thanks for watching and commenting my friend
If non ethanol fuel, i.e. recreation fuel is available, use it to mix you 2 cycle stuff and also for 4 cycle stuff.
If you have a poulan you need a carb tool and take it with you during saw use
I have a 3516 had it running gave it back to customer then he said he couldn’t get it started then I got it back put new carb in and I can’t get it started never ran into a issue like that it has spark fuel and new carb any advice
Where should I start with the idle screws. I went all in 2 turns out???????

@@RaleysSmallEngines thanks Brother. Great video. Got it fired up but it's flooding. Thanks again 👍
@@mikeburrill779 most likely bad check valve in carburetor. Replace carburetor
Did tighten or loosen? It looks like you loosen.

good job
Those little air boots are high price
You rock
My name is Hugh Railey, pronounced the same, lol.
All this crap is caused to the use of ethanol in the fuel. Also using a qualify 2 cycle oil would go along way to help.
There is such thing as a spark checker. Costs $5.00
LOL yep, i have 7 or 8 of them. We try to show things to help people who don't have those. Thanks for commenting my friend.
Let me help everyone watching this video. Smash your Poulan with a sledge hammer and buy another
Got that right 😆
Buying stihl is like buying a 90 pickup while it sets in parking lot
Foolish thing to do
Home owners are not stupid anymore
60 bucks repair
I see the problem: your bar is upside down!
