No, just regular 2 stroke oil.

Yeah, I have been thinking about the mixture. The saw runs great at wide open throttle. Do you think I should just richen the low end screw or do the high end as well? Since it has been hard to start since day 1, I doubt its the tank vent, but something to check nonetheless!

I use regular unleaded at 40:1. Any 2 stroke oil I have on hand.

I wish I had more info for ya. I just cut firewood at my Northern Michigan property....nothing crazy. When I shut the saw off to rest, can't get it restarted. After pulling my guts out I go to my other saw.....the kicker is the other saw is also a Poulan (older saw) and does the same...

Yeah, I figured a new saw just out of the box would be tuned and ready to go.....apparently not! 🤣

I have a poulan 5020 that I bought brand new last year. Since new it doesn't want to start after being used when the motor is hot. I have increased the plug gap to .030 and it made no difference. Where do I go from here? Thanks!
