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.

The chainsaw carburetor mixes air and gas before this mixture makes its way to the engine. If this is not working correctly, the engine receives a less efficient gas supply or no gas supply at all. If your chainsaw has a full tank of gas but will not start or stops just after starting, the carburetor may need to be replaced. While carburetors can be cleaned to get them working again, they often need to be replaced if they have become too clogged. Depending on what you can reuse from your old carburetor, you may need to order new gaskets as well to ensure an airtight seal. A screwdriver, a nut driver, and a socket wrench set may be needed to complete this repair. This chainsaw carburetor is sold individually from other parts, but it does include the primer bulb. It is compatible with Craftsman and Poulan chainsaws. This chainsaw carburetor is a genuine OEM part.

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.
