    How to fix a Poulan Pro PP155G42 Lawn tractor that will not start?
    • T

      If your Poulan Pro Lawn tractor won't start, several issues could be the cause. First, ensure that the fuel tank is full. If the tank is full, make sure the engine is properly choked as described in the Operation section. If the engine is flooded, wait a few minutes before trying again. Other potential causes 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 none of these steps work, the engine valves may be out of adjustment, and you should contact an authorized service center.

      Angela RollinsAug 23, 2025
      If the engine of your Poulan Pro Lawn tractor will not turn over, make sure the clutch/brake pedal is fully depressed and the attachment clutch is disengaged. Also, check the battery; it may be weak or dead and need recharging or replacing. Inspect the fuse and replace it if it's blown. Clean any corrosion from the battery terminals. Check all wiring for looseness or damage. If these steps don't work, the ignition switch, solenoid, or starter may be faulty and need checking or replacing. Finally, a faulty operator presence switch may also be the cause, and in this case, you should contact an authorized service center.
