Roy: First adjust the air and fuel screws all the way in. Do not force them... when the needle valves hit bottom, stop tightening. Turn the air and fuel screws out one and a half turns and try to start the machine. It should at least try to start. adjust the screws in or out one quarter of a turn, one screw at a time until you get the machine to run properly, then work on the idle screw to set the idle.

SOURCE: 2375 ''wild thing'' poulan saw hard starting after carb rebuild

Through trial and error on fairly new Poulin Pro, found that the usual 3-half turns for both high and low was too much (flooded) (Used to be good starting point on weed eaters years ago. So, turned both all the way in, and only backed out 1-full turn. (2-halves) Saw fired up perfectly, and ran wide open just fine. Try that.

SOURCE: chain keeps turning while in the idle position

There will be an idle (Low) speed adjustment screw somewhere on the saw (look in your manual). Adjusting this setting lower will prevent the chainsaw chain from turning in the idle throttle position. Basically you want to set it so the chain has just stopped moving... but you need to set this after the chainsaw has warmed up a little.

SOURCE: Poulan Pro 220 saw starts & runs fine when

All you need to do is try to adjust the throttle idle speed or else a cheat would be to tighten the cable which means the cable will be pulling very slightly the throttle which means it will remain running when u release throttle.

They are called "tamper proof" or "tamper resistant adjusters. Amazon has a pretty good set for a reasonable price. Search on Tamper Proof Tool. It's nice the have a set around as you never know what you will run into.

For the Poulan, go to eBay and search on "Poulan Craftsman Walbro carb adjusting tool". You will find what you need there. I hope this helps.

Poulan Pro 295 won't keep running.

pull the black dust cap on top there are three screws going down, the idle screw is on the left side (if you were holding the saw) near the top of the carb it has a spring around it. the 2 weird screws under that are the mixture screws hi and low rpm you really shouldn't mess with those unless your sure of what your doing. if that doesn't work there is a really small hole ( and I mean small) in the bottom of the carb for a diaphragm if that gets clogged it runs bad, also vibration can loosen the cylinder bolt turn the saw upside down and there are (or should be 4 bolts) make sure they are tight if one already rattled out take the one kitty corner to Lowe's or a hardware store and get a replacement.

Base adjust. on carb high and low needles on carb polen 42 18" thanks

The standard setting on needles is to screw them in all the way and then back them out 1 and a half turns.

You need to set the mixtures for the carburetor. You will find a Low and High adjustment screw. turn the low adjustment screw out. You will notice that the rpms should start increasing. keep turning it out until the rpms start to drop then turn it back in a quarter of a turn. You may need to readjust the idle speed so the chain doesn't turn during idle. Do the same for the high adjustment screw.
