Idle all day long but will not take gas have adjusted idle speeds on new carborator
Remove the muffler and run it if ok open the muffler and clean the screen inside by burning it with a torch
SOURCE: Model 3400, runs on idle but not at full speed,
I think like you it is running lean. Normally I would provide a link to the IPL (exploded parts list) for your saw but Poulan just locked the site for non-dealers. Please register your displeasure here http://www.poulanpro.com/node4020.aspx. IMO as an owner, you should have free access to these.
Sounds like time for carburator kit, HTH

If you are still having problems I would check or replace white grommet inserted into cylinder and connected to manifold,they have issues with breaking or blowing out.This model also has problems with the black intake boot not sealing around cylinder and manifold,an easy check by spraying a LITTLE carb cleaner around problem area.

have you asked them? this website might help.

Diaphragms can develop tiny pin holes but i would expect this to cause it to stall rather than fail to accelerate.
The manuals and part diagrams may lead you to the fault. I would suspect the fault to lie in some kind of idle switch or other safety switch. It's one of those faults that are easier to diagnose when it's in your hands

I think an air leak and she is running lean. Maybe time for some pressure/vacuum testing. Continuing to tweak the carburetor may camouflage a larger problem until the saw fails.
If you have more questions or need additional help please reply below and I will get back to you. Thank you for using FixYa and Good Luck. HTH

SOURCE: chainsaw runs full speed, will not idle.
Expose the carburetor so that you can observe the action of the throttle lever on the carburetor. The trigger should move the lever from the idle adjust screw to full throttle stop. If no movement observed, remove the trigger assembly from the front handle (make notes as you remove the pieces) and clean the area of sawdust/dirt accumulation. Recheck the action after everything is re-assembled before starting the engine. If the idle speed is still excessive, then turn the idle speed screw several turns CCW until the chain stops turning. Try wiggling the carburetor body to see if it has come loose from the engine. Hope some of this helps!
