Check air filter, replace if needed.
Check engine oil level and condition. Add/change as needed.
Check spark plug. Clean and re-gap if needed (.030 gap)
Drain the fuel and replace with fresh premium grade gasoline. If your local station has a notice on the pump regarding Ethanol content, drive to another station!

Most owner's manuals specify 89 octane or higher and most warranties become void if E85 fuel is used.

And finally, Oxygenated fuels are not your mower's best friend. :-)

Hope this helps.

SOURCE: how do i clean the air filter for my poulan pro

You can only clean it if it has a replaceable (fabric-type) filter...If it is paper, it is disposable and will have to be replaced if bad.

Hi there. My mower runs like a charm for the final 2-3 minutes before it runs out of gas. When the tank is full, the mower goes from full power to very low power to full power to very low power every 2...

Sounds like you need a new diaphragm kit which goes between the fuel tank and the carburetor. I just found out that they actually sell these at Lowe's now: Item #: 21969. Replacement of this kit is better left to a professional, if you're not sure what you're doing. But if you're able to do it yourself, it will set you back a whole $3 USD. Best of luck.

My poulan pro pp400e chain stops on cut,and the motor still runs

So the chain stops and the motor still runs. Does it run at high RMP or just idles. It could be the chain brake. My clutch froze up on me after an hour of running. I had to let it cool and then take it apart to free it up.

Poulan 550 Series push mower won't pull start

Hmmmm,,and the plot thickens. Without seeing the unit, i would have to think that when you pull the engine control cable bar, its not releasing the brake that sits against the flywheel. These cables do stretch. Pull the engine cover and you will see the brake against the flywheel. Pull the engine control handle and watch and see if brake is releasing. If its not, replace the cable.
That would be my bet. I hope this is of some help.
