Spark Plug

No special instructions were needed. Replaced spark plug. Gapped it at .025 I then removed the air box cover, and replaced the air filter.

Remove the air filter assembly
Remove the fuel lines and throttle from the old carburetor
Remove the screws hold the carburetor on
Install the new carburetor and tighten the screws
Put the fuel lines and the throttle on the new carburetor
Replace the air filter assembly
Remove the old spark plug
Gapped the new one at 0.025

These are the steps i used... Remove fuel lines from carburetor note position of each. Open up cover of air box. Remove air filter. Remove two screws with Allen wrench. Remove air box. Slighty remove carburetor and unhook throttle cable linkage noting the way it hooks up. Remove carburetor. Make sure old gasket doesn't stick to carburetor adapter. Remove two screws and remove carburetor adapter. Take carburetor adapter, air box, and air box cover and clean with toothbrush and dishwash liquid. Dry thoroughly. Take a q-tip dip in cleaner and clean around cylinder where adapter fits. Push screws through carburetor adapter and put new gasket on screws pushing it on adapter so it lines up perfectly. Tighten adapter on cylinder. Push screws through air box, new carburetor, and place new gasket on screws against carburetor so gasket lines up perfectly. Install throttle linkage cable to carburetor. Tighten screws back down. Clean air filter, or replace then install air box cover. Hook fuel lines back up in proper position. Always, ALWAYS use non-ethanol gas in your weed eater with proper oil mixture. My Poulan weed eater is 13 years old and this is the first time I habe replaced anything on it.

Split case, removed the nut holding the impeller, then installed the new one. Removed the old spark plug . Then gapped the new one at 0.025, closed the case. Tested, works like new. Saved a lot of money I thought after 7 years about buying a new one I'm glad I repaired it.

1. All parts provided by eReplacementParts.com were the right ones and worked perfectly. I bought from this site, since the prices were better than the local prices, and I did not have to drive from store to store, like last year. I keep a spreadsheet record, of repairs and costs.
2. I write down the model number and serial number, of each machine.
3. When ordering, write down the part numbers, that are assigned to each replacement part, and to which machine, the part belongs.
4. I Replaced spark plugs, air filters and fuel filters in the Echo and the Poulan.
5. I always start the plug installation by hand, in order to prevent cross-threading, which will ruin the head. A mechanic taught me that trick and I have never cross-threaded a spark plug. Torqued plugs, as per Original Equipment Manufacturer's (O.E.M.) specifications.
6. The air filter medium for the Poulan must be oiled, per OEM specs.
7. The spring-tension clamp that holds the fuel intake line to the fuel filter is really hard to remove, on the Poulan blower. I used needle-nose pliers with the curved plier ends. (I used YouTube instructions, again.)
8. I replaced an air filter in Honda Mower (had a new plug) and oil, in March. Will change oil again in June (Mid-season, here, in Texas).
9. I installed new mulching blades, on my Honda self-propelled mower. Originally, I installed the blades backwards. I searched YouTube and found instructions, by a Honda mower technician. The blades cut properly, now.
10. I mixed new 2-cycle oil with gasoline: I gallon for the Echo and 1 gallon for the Poulan. Each 1-gallon tank was mixed in the ratio recommended by the O.E.M specs.
11. Everything runs well.
Note: I am not a trained small-engine technician, but if I can find YouTube, or repair manuals to tell me how to do repairs, I am not afraid to try. If I'm not sure about something mechanical, I phone a relative, who is a master mechanic.

Unscrew spark plug - unscrew filter cover.
Screw in plug - replace filter & screw cover back in place.

Removed and replaced carburetor which was easier than replacing the fuel pump diaphragm, which may or may not have fixed it. Also replaced spark plug and air filter. Blower runs great now.

Disassemble the blower/engine down to the crankcase, clean as needed, install new piston kit and cylinder, reassemble blower and test run.

I started by removing the air filter cover, then the air filter, then the filter support. I then removed the fuel lines and throttle from the old carburetor. Making sure I noted where the fuel line had been. I then removed the two screws that hold the air box and carburetor on, along with the choke shutter and the choke plate. I then remove the old carburetor and installed the new one. Replaced the choke plate, choke shutter and air box and tightened the screws. I then installed the fuel lines and throttle on the new carburetor. Then the air filter assembly. I then replace the old spark plug with a new one and gapped it a 0.025 Primed it and choked it and it started right up.

Replaced carburetor and fuel lines fuel filter and air filter and spark plug. Repair went great thanks to the factory replacement carburetor took no time at all 15 minutes and a small adjustment and it was perfect fuel filter went on no problem the fuel lines took me the longest but a little bit of 2cycle oil on the ends to feed into the fuel tank and they went in a lot smoother needle nose pliers made it even easier now my blower runs better then new thanks to your awesome website only buy my parts from your site from now on thanks again for making things easy for me.
