One of the key factors that makes a spark plug work well, or not, is the size of the gap between the electrodes. If the gap is too small, the spark will likely be too weak and cause the engine to run poorly or with poor efficiency.

How does one drain the oil – Poulan Pro PR550N22SH 22Inch Briggs Stratton 550 Series Gas Powered Side DischargeMulch Lawn Mower With High Rear Wheels (NonCARB Compliant) ()
ANSWER : There is no drain plug on that model , one has to lift up the entire machine ,tilt and drain the oil out of the filler spout.
I have a Poulan 550 158cc Push Mower. Two Model #’s 96132004200 and PR0550N21RH3. Two Serial #’s 0901075421770 and 011309M001762. The mower will run if primed then dies. The carb. is on the tank. I took the tank and carb. off and blew through all openings. Air was coming out all the openings. Still no fix. Can someone please help?
ANSWER : Does it have fresh gas in it, If so time to rebuild the carb, even though you blew through all holes there is a diaphram inside the carb that pumps gas to it, so I suggest you take the carb apart and clean inside out and replace the diaphram, the way you describe it only runs on primer, tells me the carb is not getting fuel. Good Luck

Poulan 550 will not stay running. Changed diaphragm and gasket with no improvement. New gas new plug.
ANSWER : Double check the muffler and be sure it isn’t stopped up by what we call dirt dobber nest here in the south. I had a string trimmer once that did the same thing and that was the problem.

ANSWER : This could be a leak in the intake. You can test this by pulling the air filter and placing your hand over the intake hole and see if the mower smooths out. You can also wiggle the carb a little too to see if putting pressure in the direction of the carbs mounting surface helps.
I usually spray a little bit of WD at the carb base to see if this helps too.
Someone at the store who put this together may have been having a bad day. Or someone at the factory perhaps?
I would also check your fuel can for water or impurities.
