    No start 125b blower.

    I have a 125b blower that I've had for years and has been excellent. I run it at least weekly. A few days ago, I went to start it and it just wouldn't fire. The compression is about 110, and it appears to have spark. Thinking it was fuel related, I bought a carb kit from a local dealer. I cleaned and installed the new carb kit with new fuel lines. New plug. Drained and put in fresh gas. Still no start.

    Looking at the spark, it's hard to see but there is a spark. I have a spark tester. How big of a gap should I check? The spark is hard to see. Is it possible that the coil is too weak or should I check something else?

    Thanks for your help.

    Service & Maintenance Question posted July 2, 2014 by Mark Gibbs 
    I have 2 Husqvarna 125B Hand Held Blowers and I have 2 separate problems with both of them.

    How do I replace/repair the Carburetor Boot. The Boot allows the Carburetor to move around.
    The machine screws(passing thru the Boot) and nuts are not stripped.
    I have removed the Carburetor and other items in an attempt to remove the Boot. I need to know how the Boot is attached to the Cylinder/Block.

    Also, how do I make adjustments on the Carburetor so I don't have to run the Blower with the Choke in the halfway position to keep the Engine running. If the Choke is wide open, the Engine will not run at all. Please provide me with the answers to the above questions.
    Thank you.

    I have a Husqvarna 125B blower. The maintenance instructions recommend replacing the fuel filter, but when I've looked at the parts diagram there isn't a fuel filter listed. Is there a part number I can find so I can get the correct filter? Does it even have a fuel filter? I don't want to start digging into it if what I'm looking to replace doesn't exist.
    Thanks

    Hi,

    I am about to purchase a Husqvarna 580BTS but am being told that Husqvarna is addressing an overheating issue currently and the fix version of the 580BTS won't be available until MArch of this year.

    Can Husqvarna confirm this? I don't want to buy the blower if there is a new version coming out?

    thx in advance,
    Chris

    I have a 125B. It has performed well for about a year. However recently it will only run for about 15 minutes and then will stop. It cannot be restarted. After about a 15 minute cool down period, it will restart and run for about another 15 minutes. What do I need to do to correct this problem?

    Service & Maintenance Question posted November 7, 2011 by Michael Wallis 
    I ordered a Husqvarna 125 BVx leaf blower on October 9th from Northern Tool & Equipment in Minnetonka, Minnesota. It was a special order because they didn't have it in stock. The order number was 32327650.
    *
    I picked up the blower from Northern Tool & Equipment on October 19th. I used it for the first time on October 23rd. I mixed the oil that came with the blower with 92 octane gas in a brand new one gallon gasoline can. I pumped 1/2 gallon into the can from the pump, added the oil, and shook the can. I then added another 1/2 gallon of gasoline and shook the can again.
    *
    I filled the gas tank of the blower and it started up with no problem. I did notice that the blower temporarily stalled if I squeezed the trigger real hard, but otherwise it ran just fine.
    *
    I used the blower for the second time on October 29th. After using it for approximately 1/2 hour, the blower quit running. I started it up, it ran for a few minutes, and then died.
    *
    I took the blower to Northern Tool & Equipment where they tried to adjust the carburetor, but they had trouble starting it at all. I left it off for service.
    *
    On November 4th, I talked to a manager at Northern Tool & Equipment because they hadn't been able to fix it. He offered to order another 125 BVx which I agreed to. I'm waiting for the new blower to arrive.

    On your web site, I see other owners have had the same problem. One cause has been oxygenated gas. I got my gas from the same pump cars used so I assume it's oxygenated. The owner's manual doesn't say anything about using non-oxygenated gas.
    *
    When I get my new blower, should I replace the fuel with non-oxygenated gas? If so, can I buy this at a regular gas station? The blower was originally shipped from your factory in North Carolina which has a warmer climate than Minnesota at this time of year. Could the factory adjustment for the carburetor be wrong for use in Minnesota?
    *
    It doesn't seem right that a brand new blower would suddenly quit running. If I have problems with the second blower, I plan to take it back and get a refund.
    *
    What can I do to help insure I don't have problems with the second blower?

    Service & Maintenance Question posted October 3, 2011 by Bill Friend 
    I bought a 125B blower from Lowes a couple weeks ago. Upon starting it for the fist time last week I found it is not running correctly. It will start fine on full choke, and when I put it on half choke to warm up it is fine. However, when I turn off the choke, it does not run well. It wants to die as if the idle needs adjusted. I my fuel mixture is fine, because I use it for my trimmer with no problem. Any suggestions?

    Service & Maintenance Question posted September 13, 2012 by Darryl Demaray 
    I have a gas blower Husqvarna 125B series. The starter cord broke recently when I pulled it to start. I removed the inlet cover on the fan housing to determine how to install a new starter cord. Is there a tutorial on how to replace the starter cord? Thanks
