I have two Poulans in the garage. Can't get these things to run. I put in new carbs, re-did the fuel supply lines, and have spark, in both cases. One is a 2375 "Wild thing" the other is a PP4218. Same problem.
Both have a brand new spark plug. I checked for spark by shutting all the lights, pulling the cord, with a grounded but not installed spark plug in place.
I did the inital setting for both jets, screwed all the way in, and backed off 1.5 turns, which for every other carb in the world is OK.
I double checked the primer routing, seems correct. One goes to the bottom of the carb, the other to the vent back into the tank. The top input of the carb goes straight to the tank.
The PP4218 was running, and it was running at really high RPMs when I let off the throttle. The 2375 never ran. I adjusted the high side jet, and that's when it stalled and never started again.
Anything special I should know about setting up new carbs on these things?
Thanks in advance. Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.
