    Engine stalls on Poulan lawn tractor
    HD21H42 Poulan. Starts & runs fine for a few minutes then stalls. Then will not start until it cools down. Clean fuel, new fuel filter & plug, oil good. Cleaned carb. Thought it was a choke issue but only adjustment is cable position which I tried. B & S engine. Dirt in carb?

Seat kill switch on poulan lawn tractor [ 4 Answers ]

Hey folks. My Poulan lawn tractor started to die every time I let the clutch out.
