  If your Poulan Pro Pole Saw engine won't start, there are several possible reasons. First, the engine might be flooded, refer to the Operation Section for instructions on 'Starting a Flooded Engine'. Alternatively, the fuel tank could be empty, in which case you should fill it with the correct fuel mixture. A faulty spark plug could also be the culprit, so try installing a new one. Another possibility is that fuel isn't reaching the carburetor, so check for a dirty fuel filter and replace it if necessary, and inspect the fuel line for kinks or splits, repairing or replacing it as needed. Finally, the carburetor may require adjustment, and in this case, you should contact an authorized service dealer.
