  If your Poulan Pro Lawn Mower won't start, several factors could be the cause. It might be out of fuel, so start by filling the fuel tank. Ensure the engine is properly choked following the instructions in the Operation section. If the engine is flooded, wait a few minutes before trying again. Other potential issues include a bad spark plug (replace it), a dirty air filter (clean or replace it), a dirty fuel filter (replace it), or water in the fuel (empty the tank and carburetor, refill with fresh gasoline, and replace the fuel filter). Also, check for loose or damaged wiring. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the carburetor or engine valves might need adjustment, in which case you should consult the Service Adjustments section or contact an authorized service center.
