Accepted Answer

The ratio on this saw is 32:1 . Please make sure all old gas is dumped out of tank. Next check fuel filter in tank, you can usually fish it out with your finger. Filter is attached to fuel line, check to be sure fuel line is not mushy. It might save you a few pulls if you put a small amount of the gas oil mix in the cylinder before starting (about a teaspoon). There is a service manual on eBay 370231202221 and a parts manual 370218345284 (which also available at http://www.poulanpro.com/node4041.aspx). Thank You please click accept Tom
