You may have a weak fuel pump diaphram in the carb. It may be a partially pluged fuel line in the
tank. It may also be a pluged muffler. Good luck.

No bar oil coming out
I would remove chain and bar reinstall cover (For safety). start and run. oil should feed out into bar area, If nothing at all, return it for a new one, If you have oil check to make sure the bar has a matching hole where the oil feeds out. Newer saws dont oil much at all due to EPA standards it would be nice to have an old manual pump on some but I just carry a squirt bottle for the very large cuts I do and when I run into water.
Most have removed the adjustment screw that used to be on the bottom or clutch side of saw.
look for a trace amount on a smooth surface not alot like 10 years ago.
Good luck.
Chain slips off bar
I would suggest adjusting the tension and cleaning and debris along the chain path (guide bar).
Here's the manual for Poulan PP4218AV =>

Look at page 6-7 for instructions to adjust the chain tension and page 16 for cleaning the guide bar.

Used wrong gas can and ran saw on pure gasoline.
if your saw didnt lock up ,or overheat it should run again, take out spark plug, with switch off, put your thumb over the hole and check for compression when you pull the cord. if it pops your finger off the hole you probably didnt cook the rings, or burnt the piston, the raw gas may have washed the cylinder down enough to temporarily lose compression (lack of oil seal). refill tank with proper gas/oil mix, squirt a small amount of oil in cylinder and pull it thru a few times , this should seal up the rings again , put in a new sparkplug, and try normal cold start, you may have to clean the plug a couple times before it runs. if it runs but lacks power my guess is the rings got to hot and lost their temper or scored the cylinder. dont use alcohol blended gas this will ruin fuel lines , they soften up and fall apart etc. premium regular if you can get it, check the fuel line to be safe for pinholes as they will **** air and not start if you get alcohol blended gas. anyway good luck. geo_1
How do I remove the gas tank on a Poulan Pro PPBP30/30cc gas backpack blower?
To remove the gas tank on a Poulan Pro PPBP30/30cc gas backpack blower, follow these general steps:
1. Ensure the blower is turned off and cool before starting any maintenance.
2. Locate the gas tank on the blower. It is typically positioned near the engine.
3. Look for any screws or bolts securing the gas tank to the blower. Use the appropriate tools, such as a screwdriver or wrench, to remove them.
4. Once the screws or bolts are removed, gently lift the gas tank away from the blower. Be cautious not to spill any fuel.
5. If there are any fuel lines or connections attached to the tank, disconnect them carefully by loosening the clamps or fittings.
6. Once all connections are detached, the gas tank should be free to remove completely.
Please note that specific models may have slight variations in the removal process, so consulting the Poulan Pro PPBP30/30cc gas backpack blower's user manual for detailed instructions is recommended.

Why will my Poulan Pro PO16542LT riding mower only go forward and backwards when clutch is engaged but when clutch is released it stops moving?
It sounds like there may be an issue with the drive belt on your Poulan Pro PO16542LT riding mower. When you engage the clutch, the belt tightens and provides power to the wheels, allowing the mower to move forward or backward. When you release the clutch, the belt should become loose and the mower should stop moving.
If the belt is loose or damaged, it may not be providing enough power to the wheels when the clutch is engaged. This could cause the mower to move slowly or not at all. When you release the clutch, the belt may not be loose enough to completely disengage from the wheels, which could cause the mower to continue moving slowly or even stall.
To check the drive belt, you'll need to consult the owner's manual for your specific model of mower. The manual should provide instructions for inspecting and replacing the belt if necessary. Alternatively, you may want to take the mower to a professional for repairs if you're not comfortable working on it yourself.
