Poulan has a diaphragm that goes bad in the carb. It's not expensive to fix it yourself if you do things like that. Take it in and it's $50.00. Plug foul out often too and simulate a fuel problem. Good luck!
From the rear of the machine, both lines are on the left. One feeds the carb and the other returns purged fuel to the tank when the "primer" is used.
You have a kink in your fuel line or you have debris in the carburetor.

The pull-starter system on a Poulan chain saw includes a pull-starter pulley, rope and recoil spring that are prone to wear and breakage. The pull starter is nothing more than a thin rope that rubs against the eyelet with each pull. That action slowly wears away the rope, eventually leading to a frayed or broken rope. A broken pull starter must be replaced, which is a good opportunity to inspect the chain saw's other moving parts for breaks and excessive wear. Replace worn or broken parts with new units to restore your Poulan chain saw to like-new condition and proper pull-starter operation.
