Leaf Blowers

Scott,
Thank you for responding to my knocking sound described in my last post on my 350bt blower. You advised low smoke oil and high octane fuel. As mentioned, my local Husky dealer mixed my oil and fuel. They used low smoke Husky two stroke oil, and I filled the fuel at the prescribed amount with no ethenol and i used 92 octane fuel from a local distrubutor who ensures me that it was fresh fuel. The station is in a moderatly poplulated area, so I know it is not old. So, is some spark knock normal for this blower? If so, why does my Husky trimmer and my Husky hedge trimmer not make any spark knock using the same oil fuel mix? Thanks for your help in this matter.

I have a BT 150 blower, six months old. It is making a loud rattle noise from the inside of the engine. It has been at the "authorized" service center for three weeks. they think it is a wrist pin. Will It be repaired or will I receive a new blower since it is so new and that is major engine repair?

contacted your dept. about a warranty problem and jessica hung up on me. thought maybe my problem could be worked out.guess not. thought maybe since my blower was less than a year old and my fuel mixture was correct. we could pro-rate a new blower to keep a customer happy. guess not. just hung up the phone on me. my ticke number was 92875721.. never dealt with a company like this before, that wont help with a product that was less than a year old.how can a product meltdown, when i add a little more than the recemended amount of oil,mix it in a gallon can, only put a gallon of gas in that can. use the container of oil supplied with the product? i went through proper channels to try to get service, was told that i have a piece of junk.

I purchased a new 125B Husqvarna Blower in October of 2011. This week it would not stay running and was leaking fuel. Knowing that there is 2 year warranty on the blower, I called Husqvarna to find the nearest authorized Husqvarna repair shop and took it in for repairs. They were going to call me when the problem was diagnosed and instead called the next day, talked with my wife to tell me that it was ready and there would be a $35.50 charge on it because fuel related issues were not covered by warranty.

When I picked up the blower I was told that the fuel line needed to be replaced because it had deteriated from the Ethanol in the gas. My question is, Where in the warranty , manual or on the Husqvarna website does it ever say not to run gasoline with Ethanol or the results if you do? I called customer service at Husqvarna to no avail.
