SOURCE: poulan 2150 w/ walbro wt324 carb fuel line reassembly

the fule line that comes from the filter/ pick up will go straight to the nipple usualy the one closest to the middle of the carby.
the other hose comes from the carby to the in or **** side( punp it you can feel it)of the primer and then goes to the tank that is the return/ prime, nothing is conected to it in the tank. if you have the carby one the wrong way around it will not prime. just swap them over..

SOURCE: I NEEN A OWER MANUAL for a poulan chain saw 2150

its pretty easy to do with a file. first make sure you buy the right size file to fit right in the tooth. look closley at the chain and figure how to place the file on it. the point is to sharpen the side and top of the cutting part of the tooth .always file one way away from yourself. hold the file at an 45 DEGREE angle, and push forward. the trick is to push forward and up at the same time, and always go one direction. start on one side and mark your starting point with tape, go down one side then flip the saw and down the other. you dont have to push hard just enough to were you can see tiny metal fall off. lemme know if you have a problem

SOURCE: poulan 2150 cainsaw will not start .replaced spark plug ,

I suspect your ignition module is bad try this.

You may need to use a jumper wire between the threaded part of the plug and the cooling fins. There is no need to bend the electrode. HTH

It may be flooded too. You shouldn't need to choke it for more than 2-3 pulls.
Husky (cold):
1, Ignition on/off to on
2. Pull (close) choke (also sets fat idle); pull starter and listen for an attempt to start. once heard (usually twice)
3. Push (open) choke (fast idle maintained) pull starter until it starts. Usually first pull)
Warm:
1., 2. (without pulling starter), 3..
Hope this helps

Poulan 2150 chain saw starts and dies after 5 seconds or so then wont start

Try a few easy things first, hook the fuel hose out of the fuel tank through the filler hole and replace the filter on the end, follow the fuel hoses up to the carb and check foe any signs of fuel leakage, replace the affending hose if cracked.

Poulan 2150 chain saw starts after priming and dies after a few seconds

Take the exhaust off so you can see the side of the piston, if it is scored or damaged it means it has probably been run without oil added to the petrol.
That can cause the problems you are having, if it is throw it away, its not worth repairing

Poulan 2150 saw will not start.

Many saws today have a alluminium key moulded into the flywheel, if the key has sheared the timing will be out and it will never start, remove the flywheel and check the key.

I have a poulan 2150 chainsaw 16inch bar. when it starts it runs for a little while then stops running like it ran out of gas or was shut off. what could cause this.

Check the fuel filter, air cleaner and muffler for plugging. Inspect all fuel lines for any damage--replace with original rubber lines, not plastic. Make sure the carburetor fasteners are tight including the carburetor-to-cylinder fasteners. If it runs for about 10 minutes or so, look for a plugged fuel tank vent (open the cap for a moment and replace--do you get another 10 minutes). Hope this helps!.

How to get to the fuel filter on a Poulan 2150 Chainsaw

A blunted hooked rod through the fuel filler hole should snag the fuel hose. Draw it slowly toward the opening and a filter should become obvious on the free end. The manufacturer recommends an annual replacement.

It sounds to me like your fuel vent may be plugged. How long does it run before it starves out? If rotating the saw and loosening the cap causes it to operate correctly it is a bad vent. If it starves in less than a minute it is likely a defective fuel delivery hose or outside chance a leak in an impulse line somewhere.

If you have more questions or need additional help please reply below and I will get back to you. HTH & Good Luck.

Have craftsman chain saw, runs ok for a few minutes then dies. found broken gas line.replaced fuel line,air filter,spark plug, checked muffler, also mixed fresh gas.eng acts like its out of gas. leave it...

The plugged vent gets my vote. Loosen the fuel cap when it starts to starve.

Poulan 14" chainsaw, fuel coming out of fuel cap vent

The fuel cap has a rubber check valve in the top. This check valve allows air to enter the tank so fuel can flow. Much like the vent on your gas can. Sounds like the check valve in the cap is stiffening and not flexing. Best bet is to buy a new cap. Most caps like that sell for less than $3.
