20 Most Recent Poulan/Weed Eater No. Bvm200le 711482 24cc Gas Blower/Vac - Page 9 Questions & Answers

how long will it run on choke? the newer equipment are jetted really lean to comply with EPA requirements. it should run once it warms up.....if not the air fuel mix needs to be richer.

You will need to disassemble the carburetor and spray with carb.cleaner. Make sure the small screen is free of debris.(Should be able to see daylight through it.)

Use a Den Tek Brush, (http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=165357&catid=1152),to clean the small portals in carb. These portals can become blocked. Reassemble and start.

If the carb. parts are more than 4 years old, you may have to replace them.

Does it have fire, (spark)?

Go to... http://www.weedeater.com/poulanpro/indexAction.do?id=default Scroll down to Download Manuals on the right, then enter your model number. There you have the owners manual and parts manual.

J19LM champion number set at .030 and torqued to 20 ft lbs.

If you can restart the machine after it cools down with no problems, you need to replace the electronic ignition.

Is it difficult to pull? If so it could be the exhaust flame arrester has fouled with carbon. Over time it will become completely clogged and will not allow the engine to come up to speed or even start. Remove the exhaust and you will find the screen on the inlet side of the exhaust.

As long as it has fire, all you need to do is:
Check the fuel lines for cracks/breaks. If this is o.k., then you will need to disassemble the carburetor and spray with carb. cleaner. Use a Den Tek Brush,
(http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=165357&catid=1152), to clean the small portals in carb. Make sure the small screen in carb. is free of debris.
If you still have trouble after this, then you will need to buy a carb. kit and replace all appropriate parts.

The short one goes to the primer bulb and the long one, with the filter, goes to the carb.

Poulan makes a tool, part # 530031112, with two prongs that fit the grooves on the sides of the clutch. It fits most Poulan saws and trimmers made in at least the last decade. I use a butterfly impact and 3/4 impact socket and turn CLOCKWISE to remove. There should by an arrow and the word off stamped on the clutch This is the tool....

You need to remove the carb., disassemble and spay with carb. cleaner. Use a Den Tek Brush, (used for cleaning between teeth), toclean the small portals in carb. Check the small screen. It could have dirt clogged in it. Reasseble and start. If it still doesn't run properly, you will need to buy a carb. kit and replace the screen, needle valve, gasket(s), & diaphragm.

The best way to get the correct size lines is to take a piece of the old lines to your local outdoor power & equipment store, or sometimes your local auto parts store will carry them, and let them match them up. You may have two different size lines, so make sure to get pieces of both.

Ok. Good job on doing what you could, right off! The simplest things are the most overlooked, and the most unforgiving.

So, you know your plug is wet, so you got some fuel flow.

Now let's figure out the plug no-fire problem. (This is under the assumption you haven't beat on this blower with a sledge-hammer at one point. The whole "key-way" is fried thing.)

1. Grab ahold of that plug THEN crank away. One time will tell you yes or no on spark. No, I am not joking, and yes, it is better than staring at the end of a plug and wondering if your eyes are bad.
In fact, better than a cup of coffee......in a bad way.

2. Check your kill switch. It is either: Grounding, or Open (open like it should be, UNTIL you push it, click it, or slide it, whatever you got). One CHEAP and fast way: Unhook the kill switch.
Then crank away. No spark? Not the kill switch then!

3. Check your spark plug GROUND. Let's say you got some shocking results from grabbing onto that bad boy. NOW check where the plug meets the cylinder head when she is screwed down in there. Believe it or not.....if it is funky, she won't ground right!
Hence, no worky.

4. You got no spark at all.....STILL. Let's look over your Spark Plug WIRE. Is she wore through? Is SHE grounding out? Has she heat failed? Then do #5.

5. STILL no spark. Let's check the last 2 things......
Rotor Magnets, and Magneto (ignition coil).
IF you have a volt/multi-meter, hook her up to the plug wire. No juice = Bad Magneto, or Bad Plug Wire. SOME juice = Good Magneto, but Bad Plug Wire (in some mowers/weedeaters, etc., remember that the Magneto is where the kill switch hooks too.
See if it is somehow grounding you out, by being loose but still touching the cylinder, etc.)

6. Failing Magneto. This can happen, and it does. You get SOME juice, just not ENOUGH juice. 2-Strokes make a lot of heat, even Magneto's give up the ghost after a while, sometimes. In this case, find a replacement!

No. That would have nothing to do with it. Too lean a mixture would have just seized the engine from lack of lubrication. That saw probably is meant to burn 40:1 anyway. 50:1 wouldn't hurt it in that length of time either. Where did you get 16:1 as the mixture? It's been years since anything was made that used that.

this could one or a combination of a few things
1 check inside the tank for dirt 2check that the filter screen inside the tank is not plugged3 make sure the gas feed tube is not restricted pinched in the case or kinked also you can try a simple carb adjustment.also check to make sure the plug is gapped to the right specs good luck and i hope one of these suggestions do the trick

Ever tried buying a Stihl gas powered trimmer? They are really high quality and have a great history of longevity and you can only get them from a Stihl dealer as they aren't sold in the big box stores.

I have the same situation, how do I ge the shell apart.
