Same thing the other day with a Poulan weed trimmer: started it up, ran for about 2 minutes, steadily decreasing rpm's no matter what choke setting. Wouldn't restart - Poulan has a 800 number, but sorry guys, one shot is what you get. I took it back to Fred Meyers and got a Husky from the local mower shop.
I was suspicious of the Poulan as the muffler had no blacking, showing that it was not test run. 2 minutes testing at the factory would have caught this - now it gets to go back thru the return process or simply tossed; sad.
