Champion Spark Plug (RZ7C)
A fouled or worn spark plug is one of the quickest fixes for a Poulan Pro leaf blower that won't start or runs rough. If your blower cranks but won't fire up, especially after sitting idle for a season, the spark plug is often the culprit — carbon buildup and oxidation corrode the electrode gap over time.
OEM Poulan Pro spark plugs maintain the exact heat range and electrode gap your engine needs. Using the correct plug type prevents hard starts, rough idle, and stalling during operation. Check the plug every season or after 50 hours of use, and replace if the gap is too wide or the electrode is black and crusted.
Poulan Pro leaf blowers typically use a Champion RJ19LM or NGK BR2LM spark plug, depending on the model and engine size. Always verify the correct plug type in your owner's manual or by entering your model number — using the wrong heat range can cause starting problems or engine damage. OEM spark plugs are designed for your engine's compression ratio and fuel mix.
Replace the spark plug annually at the start of the leaf-blowing season, or after every 50 operating hours, whichever comes first. If you store the blower with fuel in the tank over winter, the plug may accumulate carbon deposits and foul. A fresh plug in spring ensures reliable cold starts. Keep a spare plug on hand during the season.
If the blower still won't start after a new plug, check the air filter (clogged filter restricts fuel flow), fuel line (cracked or clogged from ethanol damage), and primer bulb (cracked bulbs won't draw fuel). The carburetor may also be dirty from old gas — a carburetor cleaning kit often solves hard-start issues. Verify you installed the new plug with the correct gap and tightened it firmly.
You can clean a carbon-fouled plug with fine steel wool or a wire brush as a temporary fix to get the blower running, but replacement is the right long-term solution. Cleaned plugs often foul again quickly, and the electrode gap widens over time, making starts unreliable. A new OEM spark plug costs $5 to $10 and eliminates the risk of mid-season failure.
