  Your Poulan Pro Trimmer might not start due to several reasons: the engine could be flooded (refer to “Starting a Flooded Engine” in the Operation Section for guidance), the fuel tank might be empty (fill it with the correct fuel mixture), the spark plug may not be firing (install a new spark plug), or fuel isn't reaching the carburetor (check for a dirty fuel filter and replace it, or inspect for kinked/split fuel lines and repair/replace them). If none of these solutions work, the carburetor may need adjustment, requiring assistance from an authorized service dealer.
