This unit was a bit tough to start. First unit would start, run and quit in 10 minutes or less. Got tougher to start. Got a second unit. It runs well but also had a tendency to stop in idle, and then it got tougher to start too. The store adjusted the settings for the throttle. It got easier to start. Handled easily, cuts nicely. I am a novice on chainsaws but not on 2 cycle engines. I wish they would make one with an electric starter.

For $100 what can you expect? Works pretty well for awhile. Gets the job done. After sitting for a few months - varnish builds up fast and it becomes hard to keep the thing going. Ive had the same problem with both of my low end Poulans. Parts hard to come by unless you pay the authorized dealer to do the work - even changing the air filter! For the money it will get the tree down and save you the cost of paying for removal but for long term use - pay the extra and upgrade some!

I have lots of experience with chain saws, although as a home owner with two homes and lots of firewood. I have had maybe six electric and two gas saws, all lower end models. If I used one regularly I suppose that I would splurge for one of the top end models.

Anyway I bought one of these poulan models and could not even get it started on a warm day following all instructions. I took it back to the store and got my money back. Worthless.

I have a 2300 Poulan that I have had for some time. I do not use it very often. Today I tried to start it and after a long time trying I found the tube from the tank to the coburator was broken and very rotten. how can I get a new tube and how do I hook it up inside the tank? I would like to get this thing going if possable. My address is. Bobby Wade 708 West Second Ave. Franklin VA. 23851. Help me if you can. Bobby Wade
