These video are among the best that I have viewed for working on the Poulan Pro.,or other small engine repairs. The instruction is complete, the voice is clear and easy to listen to, and most of all when you follow as instructed your machine runs very well. Highest marks , this is really first class.
Thank you for this video. One of the easiest and straight forward ones I've seen. It helped me fix the "run only on choke" issue. Your fix for adjusting the idle screw and low idle screw is what did it for me. Trimmer is now running fantastic and purring like a kitten on idle 😀
Thank you for your kind words! It's great to hear you got it fixed and it's running that good! Sometimes no matter how much adjustment, they just don't run very smooth. Happy trimming!
I followed all the steps in the previous video about rebuilding the carburetor. I just ordered three tools via ebay to get just the one 21 tooth splined adjustment tool. My repaired Poulan string trimmer starts, revs up but dies. So I reset the carb screw that uses the Phillips screwdriver. All the way in, and then three turns back out. Trimmer starts but I need that 21tooth splined tool to adjust the L side. Should get it in on Thursday. Thanks for the videos posted here and the one showing the carb rebuild. William in Atlanta GA
Thanks for watching! Hope your trimmer ends up running good at idle. The idle speed screw may need to be adjusted if the engine is stalling, I show that the end of the video. It's also super important to measure the gas to oil ratio as precisely as possible. A lot of people eyeball it, and it usually causes the trimmer to stall.. sometimes it can stall even after running fine for a few minutes.
Good job describing adjustment of the L and H screws, with clear instructions spoken at a good speed, and no unnecessary idle chatter on unrelated topics. Kudos to Clever Fix!
@@CleverFixI followed your instructions. My Poulan runs great now. But I cant lower the idle. In fact, I can completely remove the idle screw! and the idle wont slow down! Any ideas why that might be happening?
The information this video provides is >> VERY HARD to find !!!!!!!! All searching for hrs, 100% of RUclips's vids, people FAIL miserably on this simple Golden info! I just got a 2nd hand weed eater, and the settings were Waaay off, and being frustrated how not one vid would provide this 'much needed starting point' info. They just uselessly say how to adjust from were the jets are 'currently' sitting, and i wasted a day & a half seeking this crucial ignored required knowledge before i could even begin with my recent purchase. WELL DONE 'Clever Fix' !!
Thanks for the kind words! I was just working on a new video, "Tips and Steps to Follow When Rebuilding a Trimmer Carburetor" , and it's great to know that the information I'm posting is useful to others. Thanks for watching and the feedback, it's appreciated!
Dude! You're a HERO! I watched both your videos because my Snapper Weed Trimmer S27SS stopped working! You see, Poulan and Snapper are very similar designs w the same carburetor. Your carburetor clean out video really helped a lot, except I used old fashioned carb cleaner and put everything back together. The adj part was a bit different, but I got it the way I want it to run now. Before watching your videos, I couldn't get the darn thing to even start up and now it is running perfectly! Your video saved me $200..lol! Thanks much!
You got a new subscriber just by the simplicity of your video you don't go talking about a bunch of stupid BS you just straightforward and then explaining what has to be done thank you for your time
Just got my wrench in the mail from ebay and followed your instructions which worked to perfection! I can't believe I was going to put in out to the curb and buy a new one, thanks so much.
It worked. I haven’t used this trimmer in over a year. I replaced the fuel lines and filter and followed the steps on your video. It worked even with a makeshift tool I made lol. Thank you.
Brilliant! Most clear - easy to understand video on adjusting the carb on these trimmers! Mine was WAY off, and your great explanation did the trick. thanks!
Thank you, I replaced the fuel lines and could not get it to run steadily. I bought a HIPA set of carb screw adjusting screwdrivers, but didn't know where to start. Your suggestions worked beautifully, tks again!
This is a very good instruction video. Thank you very much. I noticed that when adjusting the "H" screw, you stopped as soon as the engine revs is at its highest. Some would unscrew it slightly to make it run richer, and hence less hot.
Im have it a mCculuck 25 cc machine its livning its own life, changed the carburettor last year and worked fine and perfectly now then, it's a zhama carburettor from China I guess I can tell, I've tried and cleaned the carburettor, either it uses too much petrol or it doesn't do anything.
I have started using Stihl premix gas for my trimmers. It burns cleaner. Steve's Small Engine Saloon. Did a video talking about gas you buy and mixing your on oil. He found it is not the ethanol in the gas that is messing up the diaphragm in the carbs. But the other additives the oil companies put in their gasoline. Premixed gas does not have the additives.
Your video has withstood the test of time, my gift in this/ world is to know those of the light, that would certainly be you. In a society that has drifted away from the truth, their are those that will hate us for telling the truth, may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your enemies arm pits, may peace be with you now and forever, shalom.
I followed the steps here and reset the screws as mentioned. I think I have it at the right spots but there's white smoke coming from the engine exhaust. Fuel is mixed correctly. Also my idle screw doesn't work like yours. No matter where the screw is, it runs at the same speed. I also followed your carb cleaning video as well.
White smoke?? What kind of trimmer is that, it has coolant? The idle screw just presses on the throttle plate. If you push the throttle down you will see the plate move, and the idle screw just stops the plate from not going back very far, as if you're keeping the throttle down basically.. White smoke indicates a blown heat gasket, but you'd need to have coolant in it.. these trimmers don't have coolant. White is basically vapor/steam.
@@CleverFix its a poulan pro p1500. There's no coolanttank or anywhere to put coolant. I understand how the throttle and idle screw works but it doesn't stop the head even unscrewed all the way.
If i turn screw left ıt ll not spin by itself. Repairer said this can be related with pressure plate and changed them. It was not turning but after a few hours it started to spin by itself. Your solution can be a solution for me ?
Got a McCulloch T255CLS which is the same trimmer rebranded. Trigger got brittle and ended up snapping off. You think you can buy this part in Australia? What a joke, we have to be one of the worst places for parts. We have become a throw away and replace society. Thanks for the video though, it was well made and helpful.
Just wondering if you have any suggestions as I put a new carburetor on a weedeater along with a new spark plug, gas filter and lines and adjusted it the way you instructed but it’s just not starting. Appreciate any advice.
It's important that the gas and oil is mixed to the proper ratio. Too much oil can cause starting problems. The gasket for the new carburetor also has to match the old one perfectly, and line up perfectly and not be torn, otherwise the carb won't pump. In rare cases the magneto coil goes bad, causing no spark, so that would also cause it not to start. Another reason can be the new carb. Many times aftermarket carbs don't work like OEM ones. I usually clean and rebuild the old one instead of buying a new one because I've had this problem many times. Here are some rebuild tips in case you're interested, ruclips.net/video/zSBPTKu_xUY/видео.html
40:1 will give you more lubrication, but also more deposits and smoke. I don't like adding more oil than required because of the smoke/smell. Has the carburetor been cleaned recently? I would suspect the carburetor. I have a video on that: ruclips.net/video/pCt9QP4kEVU/видео.html If the carburetor is very slightly clogged, it could cause it to shut off randomly when letting go of the gas. Make sure the spark plug is gapped correctly and in good shape as well.
Surging is usually an indication the carburetor is clogged, see my video: ruclips.net/video/pCt9QP4kEVU/видео.html how I cleaned it. Hopefully that helps.
Yes, the idea is the same for chainsaws. Find the highest RPM for L on idle and H on full throttle, and then turn a slight bit to ensure it doesn't run too lean.
QUESTION PLEASE!!! I watched your corburator cleaning video and did that, but my corburator was completely clear. I put everything back together and it fored right up like normal but still stalled out at an idol, so I did the corburator reset like in this video and now it unfortunately wont start. It acts like it wants to though. When starting from the screws at reset and it not starting, how do you know which way or how much to turn the screws to get it to start? If that question makes any sense.... I hope you have the time to answer my question! Thank you!
What kind of gas do you have in it? Fresh and mixed properly? Have you checked compression? How do you know it was "clear" , you used a ultrasonic cleaner and the water did not get dirty at all? All the gaskets were ok in good shape?
Yes to everything except i don't know the compression or the ultrasonic cleaner. I used carb cleaner and blew it out. I started right up multiple times after the cleaning but still died at an idol and instead of just adjusting it while it was running I made the mistake of doing the reset. It acts like it kinda wants to start, but I don't know how to adjust the screws to get it to start. Thank you so much for your reply!!
@@caseyann1079 The L screw will be the one for starting. The H is for running at high speed. So maybe screw the L all the way in, and then try to start, if no start unscrew one turn at a time then try again. I'd try that myself.. but without a ultrasonic cleaner the passages inside could still be clogged.. they're pretty cheap on Amazon, you can get a small one , and they're good for lawnmowers too. In my carb cleaning video I'm using the ultrasonic cleaner, I thought you saw that.
@@caseyann1079 Carb cleaner doesn't do much! There are very tiny passages in this carburetor. You could leave it 24hours in 50-50 original pinesol and water, .. that will help some, but still not as good as the ultrasonic cleaner, because if a channel is clogged, there isn't much to move the cleaning solution through it.
I have an old 32 cc Craftsman weed-eater that I just installed a new carburetor about 6 months ago. All of a sudden, it decided to just stop running. I checked all of the fuel lines and ran into your video and tried to adjust the idle screw to reset. It started at a very high idle so I tried to turn it down but it never started again. The problem with the mixture screws is that they look as though they are totally round with no notches in them at all. What kind of tool would you purchase to adjust them? BTW, there is no H/L anywhere to be found. The only thing to go by is what you said in the video. Any ideas? Any input is appreciated.
Sorry I'd need to see a picture., but maybe the head is not round on your screws like on mine? There are all sorts of adjustment tools you can find on amazon, search for "Trimmer Carburetor Adjustment tool" and you'll find some. If the head is not round, they will have a tool that matches the head.. some of them are kind of like a D shape.
@@CleverFix YEAH, it was my dads and sat in the garage a few years. It worked fine last season but had trouble with it this week. I went on line a searched carbs for it ...13 to 23 bucks....Thanks for the info....
@@joeknowz4898 Never store small engines with fuel in the tank over winter, and always use premium gas. That will help to last much longer before clogging.
@@joeknowz4898 Also, aftermarket carbs(cheap China stuff, but they're all China) for trimmers can be garbage, I suggest cleaning the original one. Some will not even work properly at all.
@@CleverFix YAH. my neighbor hit me with a you tube video about ethanol fuel in small engines being the heart of these problems. Like I said, this was my dads and it got too heavy for him to use. I tried making my own non-ethanol fuel last year but it got so messy in my garage...I bought a 1000 ml separating funnel...it worked added, I added 100 ml's of water to the funnel and filled to the mark. let it sit for 24 hrs and the ethanol was at the bottom of the funnel...drained it out and what is left is 100% gasoline....I'll try that again. I don't make that much mixed fuel for the summer. This winter with all the snow I made and used 3 gallons...didn't have time to go bad...
Be careful with the high speed screw and adjusting to fastest engine speed at wide open throttle. There’s a maximum RPM that you’re not supposed to exceed.

Whats the name of the screwdriver socket ?
Check the video description for a link, it's a 21-Teeth Splined tool.
So the h screw you turn to max rpms,then ⅛ of a turn off that,then same with the L screw
can i use 40:1 in a 50:1 leaf blower? My echo revs up good and will idle but sometimes it just dies. Can the fuel ratio really be to blame?
40:1 will give you more lubrication, but also more deposits and smoke. I don't like adding more oil than required because of the smoke/smell. Has the carburetor been cleaned recently?
