Poulan Engine Carburetor

This is a replacement carburetor for Husqvarna string trimmers and is also used on some Craftsman models. It consists of an aluminum body with a bright blue choke and cherry red primer bulb. Engines rely on a mixture of fuel and air for proper operation. In a small engine, the fuel and air mix inside the carburetor. This is achieved with a series of small channels, which release a fine mist of fuel into a vortex of air. When one of these channels gets clogged, it can negatively impact engine performance. Carburetors can often be cleaned with a commercial carburetor cleaning spray, but this is sometimes not sufficient to clean a badly clogged carburetor. In this case, other measures such as hypersonic cleaners can often be effective, but they’re not always worth the cost. The alternative is replacing the entire carburetor, which can be done using this kit. This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer, and it is sold individually. A heat shield is also included with the kit.

Mixes air and fuel for your chainsaw engine. Replace if cracked, damaged, or leaking. Installs on engine, may include primer and fuel lines.

The carburetor is the part of the chainsaw that mixes air from the intake valve system and gas before the fuel mixture goes to the engine. This ensures that the chainsaw is capable of continuing to run while it is in use. A bad carburetor will cause problems with how the chainsaw runs, and it may stop running during work. If the engine does not start when the tank is full of fresh fuel, test the carburetor. Start by removing the air filter and pouring a teaspoon of fuel onto the carburetor. Then, pull the starter rope to start the engine. If the engine starts but quickly dies, it means that the carburetor will likely need to be replaced. The replacement of the new carburetor is fairly simple. Remove the rear cover on the chainsaw to remove the old carburetor. Once you have removed the old carburetor, you can then install the new carburetor. Replace the cover and test the chainsaw. This is an OEM sourced part that will work with several models of chainsaws from Poulan and Craftsman.
