I just acquired a Poulan 3300. Saw runs okay, but the carb adjustments have been messed with (it smokes a lot). Been looking for a shop manual on line and can't find one for free. Anyone know what the factory carb settings are? Or can you point me in the direction of a free shop manual that I can download? Thanks.

Never seen a manual for one other then IPL. Carb is normal adjustments. Start 1 to 1.25 out from lightly seated sometimes 1.5 out to be on rich side.

Should have a walbro carb HDA-49. The complete kit is K22-HDA.

Make sure you check your impulse line and fuel line for cracks.

Thanks. Haven't had it apart yet. The H and L adjustment screws were out about 3 turns. Not normal for what I'm used to, but I never had a Poulan before.

Factory called for 1 on both L and H. L was to be set using the lean and rich drop off points. Mid point between and then a bit richer is getting close. I find the HDA-49's on my 3000's are closer to 1 1/4 on the L and and a tad leaner than 1 on the H.

As was mentioned, the factory impulse lines need checking. The material for the line did not stand up to the heat at the cylinder base. I have not seen one that hadn't become brittle. Check the carb intake boot carefully for cracks as well.
