I will go out and fire my mower up every week or two during the off season.

I'm not surprised. The DC mowers aren't real popular in my area. There's one dealer in a 100 mile radius. I see more homeowners using them than professional contractors. Grasshopper will probably fill the vacuum around here. The GH is becoming more popular in my area. It's hard to compete with...

Thanks. That's what I determined. Although, I didn't have the Husqvarna number.

Today, I will determine exactly what carburetor my particular PP220 Type 4 has. While I'm putting on fuel lines, filter, and primer bulb, I will refurbish the carburetor. I don't think an aftermarket unit would be a good fit, as they seem to be for several models. Their quality is questionable too.

You are fortunate to have an older SRM225 with the grease port. Newer units have sealed bearings and no grease port.

That's where the grease goes.

Is there a bolt on the side of the gear head? https://www.lawnmowerforum.com/threads/new-models-srm-225-doesnt-have-grease-point.73439/

Okay guys, I'm having trouble identifying exactly what type Poulan Pro 220 saw that I have. The decal on the side says 38cc. The tag near the handle indicates a 42cc. I assume it's a Type 4. Attached is a picture of the tag.

Listen to @Rivets Get it to the dealer. Make use of the warranty while you can.

At this point, using Valvoline Restore and Protect 10W30 would be worth a try.

You may be creating more problems than you need. First off, the wheel assemblies will be heavier. Secondly, you may need wheel spacers to keep them from rubbing on the frame and body.

Instead of turning the engine from the PTO end, remove the engine shroud and turn it from the top. This will give you the opportunity to clean the engine cooling fins.

500 hours? Have the valves been adjusted? Initial adjustment should have been done at 300 hours.
