Poulan Pro Chain Saw 46cc 20" - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
I have two poulan chain saw with the same problem can not get the gas to flow from the tank to the carb .the primer fine also the fuel lines have been replaced
It is important if you have changed the fuel lines that they are reconnected correctly, the bubble is a purge not a primer, so it pulls fuel from the carb and dumps back to the tank, on the back of the bubble there are two connections, one long one short, the long connection is the pressure side so goes back to the tank, the short one is the suction side so this goes to the carb connection nearest to the metering cover ( the one held with four screws) the fuel hose from the tank with the filter on the end goes to the connection on the carb nearest to the pump cover (held with a single centre screw) if you have not already done so replace the fuel filter in the tank.
Poulan woodshark type 1,2,3,4,5 differences
Anytime there is a difference in the "Type" something was changed on the product. To determine all of the changes in all types would take some time going through each of the part's lists.
Chain damage
The chain could be stretching. Are you using a good quality bar and chain lube? Never use old motor oil. Once the chain has jumped several times it may be bent.
Properly adjust the chain and keep an eye on it while using. start with a new bar and chain and watch the tension. You can also replace the tool less cover with a standard cover for about $25
ETHANOL fuel has completely dissolved
Yes, anything can be fixed, well almost. I've had the same problem with small engines. Start by taking the plastics off, you should be able to find the rest of the fuel line that goes to the primer bulb. Then from the bulb to the carb. You need to the correct size fuel line and replace it and put on a new filter. Just remember, if it damaged the lines, the carb needs to be removed and soaked or replaced. To keep from going through this again I recommend the pre mix two cycle fuel, just make sure the ratio is correct, chainsaws are usually 50:1 and other small engines run 40:1
Poulan PP4218 avx; tube (line) inside gas tank
cheapest way is a new fuel tank from e-bay that has it all installed
you can remove the rubber grommet around the lines to get it out then get a new filter to push on the line BUT will it be cost effective against what can be obtained from e-bay
New saw - will not
It's possible the brake is on. Try pushing the brake forward then pulling it back until you hear it click. Then try cranking it again.
What is oregon chain sharpen angle
I sharpen to 35 degrees, right or wrong. I'm sure there are more aggressive angles for the larger pro-saws, but this has served me well over the years on many brands of chain.
Brand new saw ... (x-mas present) ... chain came
You will need to remove the chain. Usually, the chain is damaged beyond repair after it jumps the bar. However, sometimes you can repair it with a flat file.
Inspect the chain for damaged links. Usually, the chain guide teeth that ride through the bar slot get damaged. It doesn't take much distortion of the guide teeth to bind in the bar slot. Sometimes, you can file the sides of these damaged guide teeth down enough to operate smoothly.
Be sure you check the tension of your chain after every 3-4 cuts so this doesn't become an issue. New chains will get play in them faster than used chains.
Be sure to also inspect your chain bar/bar sprocket for any damage.
