General Product Question posted April 16, 2011 by John ZrodlowskiQuestion:I have a Poulan Pro blower/vac model BVM200VS. It was purchased from Lowe's on 11/15/2010. I have never used anything but the correct gas to oil mix and have used the supplied 2-stroke oil. The blower had always started and run very well. Then, 2-3 weeks ago it stalled out and will not start again. I have checked for spark and am getting it. Replaced the spark plug after checking and setting the appropriate gap. Took apart and cleaned the fuel intake system including blowing out the fuel filter. According to the printed material packed with the blower, it would appear to be under warranty. I have read a lot about this brand/model on line. From what I can gather, the unit has lost compression in the cylinder. This would be the most logical diagnosis given the other causes already ruled out. The loss of compression is most likely due to one of two reasons or both: the piston ring has gotten stuck in the set groove on the piston (which this model is well known for) or the head bolts have vibrated loose enough to compromise compression (another model related flaw). Many of the customer reviews of this blower were quite unfavorable, more than some warning a potential customer against purchase of Poulan. Of those customers that did take the unit in for repair, under warranty, more than 60% were told the problem was not covered and due to improper gas to oil mix. My question is should I take it in and have it checked for possible repair, even under warranty?- Parts Question posted August 4, 2013 by drew dobbeleareQuestion:I have a poulan pro bvm200vs blower. I repair small engines and I have checked every thing and I was wondering is there a fly wheel key for this blower? I have looked at diagrams and cannot find one, but it appears that there needs to be one by looking at the notch on the fly wheel and shaft. I also wanted to ask another question. I have no spark coming from the unit. I have replaced the spark plug and gone through the entire unit. Is it that there is a missing fly wheel key causing this or is the magneto assembly bad?

- Service & Maintenance Question posted October 7, 2012 by Paul ZaloudikQuestion:I have a PPB430VS that is extremely hard to start. If I turn the flywheel for 30 seconds or so at a high speed with my electric drill and then crank for several times without engaging the choke, it will usually start. The gas filter has been recently changed, so, I'm not sure what is causing the hard starting.
- Service & Maintenance Question posted November 30, 2013 by Lovell MoorerQuestion:I have a PR624ES and I need to know the proper oil capacity. The manual that I have (Rev 1 06.02.11) states that the capacity is 16oz. This amount barely shows on the dip stick.

I asked about it at Lowe's where I purchased it, and they referred me to the 800# in the manual. I have tried to call the number several times, but get no answer and it then it eventually disconnects. How do I get a filler cap for this?

I have only used mine once and it worked perfectly. However, reviewers are stating the top engine mount breaks loose from the frame after the 2nd or third use. Can you explain to me why this is? Is this a design flaw? I have been a Poulan Pro fan for years and I don't want to be using my blower and the engine fall off the frame. Thank You.
