How to fix Poulan Pro PR1842STC Lawn Mower that is hard to start?

  swaltonAug 16, 2025
  If your Poulan Pro Lawn Mower is hard to start, several factors could be the cause. A dirty air filter could be restricting airflow, so try cleaning or replacing it. A bad spark plug can prevent ignition, so replace it. A weak or dead battery won't provide enough power, so recharge or replace it. A dirty fuel filter can block fuel flow, so replace it. Stale or dirty fuel can cause combustion issues, so drain the tank and refill with fresh gasoline. Loose or damaged wiring can interrupt the electrical system, so inspect all wiring. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the carburetor or engine valves may need adjustment, requiring professional service.

How to improve Poulan Pro Lawn Mower grass discharge?
- T
  Teresa MartinezSep 9, 2025
  If your Poulan Pro Lawn Mower has poor grass discharge, ensure the engine speed isn't too slow by placing the throttle control in the 'FAST' position. Avoid traveling too fast by shifting to a slower speed. Allow the grass to dry before mowing, if it is wet. Make sure the mower deck is level and check the tires for proper air pressure. Replace or sharpen the blade and tighten the blade bolt if the blade is worn, bent, or loose. Clean the underside of the mower housing to remove any buildup. Replace the mower drive belt if it is worn. Reinstall the blades with the sharp edge down if they are improperly installed. Replace with the correct blades, as listed in the manual, if improper blades are used. Clear any clogged mower deck vent holes around the mandrels.
