first off he never let it run on half choke at all. ans second I just got one last weekend and I ran it for an hour to let it loosen up a little bit, and then read the instructions on how to set the carb like it tells you to. And guess what it runs like a top, and starts every time from cold by doing the starting instructions. Its the operator not the saw.

Depending on ambient temps, Press primer-bulb specified # of times, turn ignition off, choke on full, throttle locked. Crank engine 3-4 times.

Choke off (warm weather) or choke partly off (cold weather), ignition on, crank until starts. Let run at fast idle for 20-30 sec., easing choke off as possible.

Also, when chain is hanging below bar like that, it _badly_ needs adjusting. Dull?

I've run a Poulan 2150 for 10 yrs, with nothing like this startup drama. Pvc fuel line sux; go for Tygon.

I have the exact same saw and it was the weekend and I wanted to cut some fire wood but my stihl farm boss wasn't ready to go I needed a speacial chain for it and I had it tore apart. So I'm just going to use my backup saw I didn't use it for 3 weeks till now and it's -33 out side I thought it would be hell hard to cold star 5 pulls with 2 pulls choking it it starts right up starts as good as a stihl

Thank U for the video. I have the same saw and it has the same problem.

@Dimes329 LOL Mine runs like a top and all I did was follow the instructions manual

[Dimes329]

@TheCivicguyd16 Ok so My poulan is basically the same one. I start it it will run for a minute or two tops then go off and apparently no one around here services Poulan chain saws. I brought it to a repair shop not knowing the shop only serviced Stihl products the guy looked at it said yea this things done, and gave me a Stihl brochure to look at.

chain is too loose

@jcal5150 you should get the carburetor adjustment tool. I bought one for my Poulan chainsaw. Its starts up very easy now. They tune the engines too lean from the factory and they need to be richened up. Check out my cold start video of my poulan chain saw. You will see how easy the saw starts and how it does not bog down when its cold. Oh and your saw is 38cc. I've worked on a bunch of those farmhand 2150's

@jcal5150 Yes, i know what you mean, I have a poulan 2025 chain saw and its a bitch to get going!
