SOURCE: Need the know the correct H and L settings for our
There are no hard and fast settings.
The initial starting point "H" and "L" are 1.5 turns CCW from lightly seated.
The"T" adjustment enters here too (idle speed) and there is initial setting without a tach, depending on age may not be any initial "T" setting.
The "L" needle is primarily idle performance (not speed) and acceleration to full throttle.
The "H" is mostly performance at speed, but all are interconnected.
Fresh mix of fuel. Put ALL of the old mix in any 4 cycle and start new. I suggest 50:1 regardless of what your manual says. This is the best performance adjustment I have found.

If push comes to shove a local saw shop (I prefer Stihl mechanics and do not own a Stihl) should be considered.

SOURCE: I Need Diagram of Fuel Line Hookups For a Poulan
The line at the rear of the fuel tank with the fuel filter is the main feed line to the carburetor and connects to the upper nipple. The lower nipple on the carburetor goes to one of the primer ports, and the other primer port goes back to the tank, which has no filter on the tank end. On the primer port, it is cut and try--remove the tank return connection and leave loose. Place the main fuel line on to one of the primer ports and try to pump fuel into it with several pumps.Make sure the filter in the tank is not plugged. If nothing, shift the line to the other port of the primer and try pumping again. When successful, remove the main fuel line and return it to the upper carburetor port. Run a new line from the lower carburetor port to the active primer port and try to pump fuel again. If it won't pump fuel, reverse the two connections at the carburetor and try to pump again. If still nothing, there is trouble within the carburetor which should be cleaned with spray carburetor cleaner and maybe re-kitted. When you can finally pump fuel through the carburetor, then attach the tank return line to the open port on the primer bulb. Hope fully, the engine should run at this point. Hope this helps!

Fuel components are onthe "Engine Assembly" & "Handle, Chassis, & BarAssembly" detail pages.
Replacement fuel lines can be found at yourlocal chainsaw seller/mechanic. They are different diameters.
Fuel Line Replacement
SOURCE: How to replace fuel lines on Poulan P3314
I am asuming you are already into the saw and looking at the carb and tank. There are two fuel lines, one gets gas to the carb, the other returns gas to the tank. The 'in' fuel line has to be long enough so you can pull it out the gas fill hole to attach the filter and to rest on the bottom of the tank. (The weight of the filter will keep it on the bottom.) The 'out' line only has to be long enough to go into the tank but not vibrate out. Both should be fairly snug in their holes so gas won't leak out around them. Either line can go through either hole in the tank however, one hole is usually easier for each line to run in without kinking. If you don't know which nipple is which on the carb, put one end of a line on one nipple and the other end in some gas and pump the primer. If it sucks gas up, it's the 'in' nipple, if not it's the 'out' nipple. If you got the 'out' nipple, be sure to check the other to make sure the primer is working properly.

The 2150 has a remote primer, so there will be three pipes, the pipe coming from the fuel tank with the fuel filter on the end is the main fuel tube, this fits to the connection on the carb nearest to the pump cover on the carb ( alluminium cover held with a single screw ) the other connection on the carb has a pipe to the shorter of the two connections on the back of the primer ( suction side ) the longer connection on the back of the primer ( pressure side ) has a pipe back to the fuel tank, so the primer pulls fuel from the tank, into the bulb, and dumps it back to the tank, it does not push fuel into the carb, this way you can depress the bulb as many times as you like without flooding the engine.
