The mower that I received was a Poulan mower, which I am not sure if it is related to Husqvarna or not. I was able to mow with the product one time, and now I can not get the mower to start again. I now have to find out how to get it serviced or replaced, because I have no other mower, and my yard needs to be cut soon, or my neighbors will have a cow! Needless to say, I am not impressed with it, and now I have to go through the hassle of finding another one, or getting this one fixed.

I have this mower and it came with an insert beneath the side discharge vent. This plastic plate keeps the grass clippings or leaves from being discharged and chops them into tiny particles. I removed my plate or ‘plug’ as the grass kept causing the mower to shut off as it was very thick grass.
As to the complaint about the mower not starting after the first time please check to insure there is adequate fuel/oil in their respective tanks (and not oil in the gas tank and vise versa). Next, check to be sure the foam air filter isn’t blocked with dirt and grass. If it is, remove and wash it. Next, if all else fails, remove the spark plug and check for fouling. If the contacts are not clean and sharp, replace the plug. Plugs are inexpensive and not covered by warrenty. This should do the trick. The plug the manufacturer installed lasted me eight hours. Eight. The manual says to replace spark plugs after 100 hours. Don’t believe it. And the spark gap for this machine is . 03
If you have done all of this and the mower still won’t start, go to www. briggsandstratton. com for a dealer near you and call ahead to make certain they do warrenty repairs and, if so, under what circumstances in case there is a hidden cost to you. There is a two year warrenty, you know. I enjoy using my mower to cut nearly an acre of grass and, while the mower and I got off to a bad beginning, we’re doing great now.

I bought this mower a year ago and am extremely disappointed. Though featured as mulch optional, there is no plug for the side discharge. I have tried everywhere to find one but can’t. E-mails to Poulan are not replied to and the 1-800 number is a recording saying to call during normal hours (I called 2 hours after they were supposed to be open). Don’t buy this thing.
