John,
I just bought a 128CD Trimmer. It will not run, keeps dying. I'm taking it back tomorrow. Also looking at all these problems people are having with Husqvarna tools I think I'll never buy another one. I have a new (couple months old) 455 Rancher chainsaw that runs like crap too. I think they must be making them in China now.
Good luck with yours,
Jimmy Mize
