    Poulan Pro chainsaw model Identification no stickers
    I have an older model Poulan Pro chainsaw which I've been doing some maintenance on. I would like to replace all the missing stickers that have worn or rubbed off, but I don't know what the model number is to know what stickers to purchase, since all the stickers having that information are long gone. Bit of a catch-22.

    Is it possible to look at the outside of a Poulan Pro chainsaw and determine what model it is? I'm hoping for some guidance for Ways and Means determining model and different places to search on the chainsaw for  obtaining serial number, or anything else that might be helpful in determining the model of my chainsaw.

    Once I know the model number I can find the manual for the chainsaw and hopefully be able to order any necessary parts, such as the missing stickers.

    Would a photo of my chainsaw help in identifying the model number?  If I could find a bunch of pictures of different models, I might be able to compare them with my saw and determine the model?

    Thanks in advance for all your help!  :-)

    Service & Maintenance Question posted August 25, 2017 by Joan Hawkins 
    How do I remove the cover from my Poulan Pro PPB40PS 40V Lithium Ion Battery operated 8" pole saw to get to the bar and chain?
    I have read and searched everywhere in the book that comes with the saw as well as on the internet with no results found.
    In order to adjust the chain tension and clean it, I need to be able to remove the cover. The only way I see to remove it is by removing all the screws. I am hoping there is an easier and quicker way to accomplish this task as it seems it needs to be done quite often for cleaning, per instruction manual.
    Can anyone please help me with this issue?
    Thanks in advance for your help!!!

    Service & Maintenance Question posted July 10, 2017 by Richard Roloson 
    I have a PP4218AVX that was running. I was using the chainsaw to cut a big branch that had fallen in my back yard, one of the fuel lines had rotted through and was leaking so I replaced it, I pulled out the carburetor because the line went into the fuel tank. When I replaced the fuel line and put the carburetor back in I cant get the chainsaw started. I am not sure if the fuel lines are hooked up incorrectly or the carburetor needs rebuilt or what. I have a spark. Any help is appreciated.

    I purchased a Poulan Pro 18" chain saw. After completing a cut, the motor stalls as soon as I let off the gas. I make certain the motor is fully warmed up before attempting to make a cut. What's the problem ?

    Service & Maintenance Question posted September 30, 2016 by ray roblin 
    i have model PP4218A chain saw, used one time ... ran perfect, started fine and ran great .... i then drained unused mixed gas from the tank and stored the saw in the included carry case. purchased in May 2016; i went to use it yesterday, Sept 29; added appropriate oil/gas mix and the saw started as i expected. when i went to use the saw it slowed and stalled as i started to cut a fairly small tree limb. thinking i didn't add enough fuel and the inlet filter wasn't fully immersed in the fuel, i topped off the tank. Again, it starts just fine but when it gets under a cutting load, it slows and stalls. the chain break is not engaged; it appears the motor is starving for fuel under power, not idling. i then removed the black top cover thinking one of the fuel lines had come loose or was split; there was no visible leakage or split/loose fuel lines. it appears when under a cutting load the carb or fuel lines are drawing air from somewhere and starving the carb for fuel ... i returned the saw to northern tool in Garland, Tx, they do not have a service tech and could not help me. they suggested i contact PP; any suggestions or can you tell me where a local service center is in the eastern Dallas County Texas area (zip code 75043)
