The original post from av8tor1977 didn't state which Poulan engine in question. Everyone automatically assumes the larger 42cc chain saws, but there are alot of string trimmers using Poulan engines too. My 25cc Poulan is from a WeedEaterŪ, and uses the mounting style I mentioned earlier. With a side carb and side exhaust, it gets the engine much closer to the plane's firewall, giving the weight less leverage to shift the CG.

If you don't want to make your own backplate mount, they can be purchased from numerous conversion sources, including CH-Ignitions $11.95:
