Why my Poulan Pro HDF550N will not start?

  Perry CampbellAug 13, 2025
  If your Poulan Pro Tiller won't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the fuel tank is filled. If that's not the issue, refer to the “TO START ENGINE” section in the Operation section to ensure the engine is properly choked. If the engine is flooded, wait a few minutes before trying again. Other potential causes include a dirty air cleaner (clean or replace the cartridge), water in the fuel (empty and refill with fresh gasoline), a clogged fuel tank (remove and clean it), a loose spark plug wire (ensure it's properly seated), a bad spark plug or improper gap (replace or adjust), or a carburetor that needs adjustment.

  If your Poulan Pro Tiller engine overheats, check the oil level and change the oil if it's low or dirty. Also, clean the engine air screen and any dirt on the cylinder fins, air screen, and muffler area. If the muffler is partially plugged, remove and clean it. Finally, the carburetor adjustment may be improper; adjust it to a richer position.

  If your Poulan Pro Tiller experiences excessive bounce or difficult handling, it might be due to the ground being too dry and hard. In this case, moisten the ground or wait for more favorable soil conditions. Also, check if the wheels and depth stake are incorrectly adjusted and adjust them accordingly.

  If the engine of your Poulan Pro Tiller runs but labors when tilling, it could be due to tilling too deep, so set the depth stake for shallower tilling. Also, check the throttle control setting and make sure it's properly adjusted. The carburetor may also be out of adjustment, so make the necessary adjustments.
