Poulan PP446ET Trimmer Engine Won't Idle

[Cusingeorge]

Starts easy enough, but I must run it wide open or it will die. At full throttle, it's running much too fast and won't handle a load well like it used to (bogs down).

I am confident the carb needs a good cleaning, but it seems like the time and effort invested to clean the little bugger would be better spent on replacing the carb altogether. I think I can snag one for $30.00.

Thoughts?

I agree, replace the carb

+2, if you can get a known, good carb and have it in place for $30.00, you can't beat it.:thumbsup:
