Poulan Pro 2990 Chainsaw F.A.Q.

What is the correct fuel mixture for the Poulan Pro 2990 chainsaw?

The Poulan Pro 2990 requires a 50:1 fuel-to-oil ratio. This means you should mix 2.6 ounces of 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil with 1 gallon of fresh unleaded gasoline.

How can I troubleshoot the chainsaw if it won't start?

Ensure the chainsaw has fresh fuel and the correct fuel mixture. Check the spark plug for damage or fouling and replace if necessary. Verify that the air filter is clean, and inspect the fuel lines for cracks or leaks.

What maintenance should be performed regularly on the Poulan Pro 2990?

Regular maintenance includes cleaning the air filter, checking and replacing the spark plug annually, inspecting the fuel filter, and ensuring the chain is sharp and properly tensioned.

How do I properly tension the chain on my Poulan Pro 2990?

To tension the chain, loosen the bar nuts slightly, adjust the tensioning screw until the chain fits snugly against the bar but can still be pulled around by hand, and then tighten the bar nuts securely.

What should I do if the chainsaw chain keeps coming off?

Ensure the chain is properly tensioned and that the bar and chain are compatible. Check for any damage to the guide bar or chain. If necessary, replace these components.

How can I clean the air filter on my Poulan Pro 2990?

Remove the air filter cover, take out the filter, and wash it with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before reinstalling.

What are the steps to sharpen the chainsaw chain?

Secure the chainsaw, use a round file that matches the chain's pitch, and file each cutter at a consistent angle. Maintain equal strokes per cutter and check the depth gauges with a flat file and depth gauge tool.

How do I store the chainsaw when not in use for an extended period?

Empty the fuel tank and run the engine until it stops. Clean the chainsaw thoroughly, remove the chain and guide bar, and store them separately in a dry place. Apply a protective oil to the chain and bar.

What could cause the chainsaw to overheat?

Overheating can result from a dirty air filter, insufficient lubrication, or a dull chain. Ensure the air filter is clean, the oil reservoir is filled, and the chain is sharp.

Why is my chainsaw producing smoke during operation?

Smoke can be caused by an improper fuel mixture, a dull chain, or insufficient lubrication. Verify the fuel mixture is correct, sharpen the chain, and check the oiling system.
