I bought a 125B in summer of 2011.  Ran somewhat ok for first month, but had trouble accelerating when choke off.  Dealer blamed it on gas and would not address under warranty.  Now in second season, issue became progressively worse until it did not even want to start.  Took it into dealer and they said it is due to ethanol in gas and not covered under warranty.  He indicated he had 10 just like it waiting for service.  He stated it would need a new carb and fuel line.  If I wanted it fixed the repair woudl cost $100.  Decided I would buy a $75 new one at home depot and take my chances.  Based on the dealer info and other postings online it sounds like to me Husq. has a reliability/quality issue.  After 1 year my 125B became junk.
