Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Poulan 34cc engine leak, arinet, oil mixture

Question
QUESTION: I have a Poulan 3416 Chainsaw with a 34cc engine. It starts and runs fine except a lot of smoke coming from the engine and small amount of gas/oil mixture. It seems to be coming from the engine head where there is a small bead of gasket going around the metal area.

ANSWER: Hello Felix:

Check the Jug/Cylinder Bolts. They May be Loose or the Jug/Cylinder Gasket May be Blown. You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Mower at this Site Addy, http://hayward.arinet.com/scripts/EmpartISAPI.dll?MF&app=ASP&lang=EN&TF=Mainfram and Select the Catalog Poulan/Weed Eater. Then Select Poulan. Then Select Chainsaw. Then Select Gas. Then Select the 3400 File. Then Select Engine Assembly. The Gasket is Breakdown # 50 and the Bolts are Breakdown # 52. Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.

Good Luck
