Not even two years old, flat yard, this year the belt won’t engage, I have to fit it in the pulley, but whenever I disengage it falls off. Pretty ticked, advice, avoid this mess of a mower. Sorry I bought it, Home Depot is no help, hindsight is 2020,.
In February of 2016, I purchased a new Poulan Pro (model#PB175A46). In September I began experiencing the engine stumbling like it was running out of gas, it would do this for awhile and then sputter and stop running. I discussed this with my local repair shop and was told to just pull the carburetor and clean it, that this was a fuel problem and not covered by warranty. Basically, he just blew me off.
I changed the filter and discovered that when this problem presents itself, the filter has run dry like it has a vapor lock, there is usually at least a half tank of gas when it quits running.
I don't want to tear the carburetor down and take a chance on voiding my warranty...what should I do. Can you give me an indication of what the real problem is and whether there is a fix that doesn't cost me a fortune.
Remember: I BOUGHT THIS MACHINE IN FEBRUARY, IT IS ONLY 8 MONTHS OLD AND THIS SHOULD BE COVERED THROUGH WARRANTY I SHOULD THINK!
Please answer me...
I bought a Poulan PRO PB175A46, in February of this year; upon delivery of my "new" lawn tractor I discovered that it was built in 2014. The store that I purchased it from says that warranty is as new warranty. In second month of ownership I have already replaced the deck belt and both blades to my dismay; now I am in the 8th month of ownership and I am beginning to have fuel delivery problems; at first I thought maybe a bad filter so I replaced the fuel filter last week, today it had a re-occurance of the same problem...like it was starving for fuel, after only using for less than an hour. Does anyone know whether these machines are prone to "vapor lock" problems. I never had this problem with any other lawn tractor that I have owned, however, it is the first that I have owned that had a Briggs and Stratton engine, all my mowers in the past had Kohler power. Can someone give me suggestion what to do? I live in Central Florida and it is always rather hot here.
This is the third mowing season with my PB20A46, and it has been excellent up until now. However, recently it has failed to come to a stop when I have taken my foot off the pedal -- two of the last three times I have mowed. It has gotten to the point that it is dangerous to use.
Do you know what the problem might be? How easy is it to fix?
I have a Poulan pro 1842, after running for a few mins it starts dying, seems to not be getting fuel. I replaced fuel filter, no luck. Seems the auto choke is moving
