Poulan Pro 42CC 2 Cycle Chainsaw, 18" Questions & Answers
Model # pp4218avx chainsaw
It is important to engage the hand guard into the brake mechanism before tightening the screws, if the brake is aready on prior to fitting you will need to remove the sprocket and possibly the clutch to get the brake onto the machine, as the band will be smaller than the drum, once on and engaged into the mechanism the hand guard will pull back to the top handle and load the brake, you can then refit clutch and sprocket.

It's possible that the carburetor diaphragm in the lower chamber has hardened or cracked. Does the primer bulb fill with fuel after several pumps? If not, try moving the line that comes up from the fuel filter to the carburetor over to the primer port that normally connects to the other carburetor connection. Try to pump fuel again--if successful, then there is blockage within the carburetor which should be cleaned with spray carburetor cleaner inside and out. There is a small filter screen inside the main body that can be easily plugged with stale fuel. Hope this helps!
How do i find the model number on my poulan
If you entered the 42CC 18" it is a PP4218(AV, AVHD or AVL) Gas Saw Type 2. The letters after the 18 correspond to the type of chain tensioning system.

The dash number of your serial number is the type. Match the "Handle, Chassis and Bar Assembly" with your saw to complete the IPL.
An OM and less detailed IPL for your saw can be found here:

HOW TO TAKE THE MAGNITO OFF OF A 306A POULAN CHAINSAW
I can't find your model number at Poulanpro.com but in all the chainsaws that I have worked on the starter rope comes in the cover which is held on by usually 4 or so screws. I suggest that you go to the site I listed and look at the 42 CC engine (they have a parts manual for it) before removing anything else. Let me know if I can help further.
I purchased a 260 Pro
because you interfered with it , the warranty is void and if you have a blocked line ( unlikely) then any repairs are at your cost
it could be a stuck valve under the primer bulb that is the problem so remove the bulb and check the valves operation
Chainsaw want idle why?
Try adjusting the idle 5crew on the carb. Its usually marked with an [ I ]
To get it just right, make sure your chain brake is off, screw in the idle 5crew, the saw will rev and the chain will start to turn. Now back the idle off until the chain stops moving and the engine is ticking over nicely.
