Thanks for the response, which if I am interpreting it correctly, says that the 125B doesn't need Smart Start because of lack of impeller. Right?
Thank you for contacting the Answer Army.
The Smart Start® enables the blower to start quickly with minimum resistance. Resistance in the starter cord is reduced by up to 40%.
Attached to the 125BVX impeller is a mulch blade or fail blade which makes the blower a little more difficult to pull over. The Smart Start® system allows for easier pull of the starter cord.
Please contact an authorized Husqvarna dealer in your area for possible product demonstration.
Do yourself a favor and buy a different model. I purchased a Poulon Pro blower years ago and it worked fine for about 3 years, which I consider acceptable because it was not very expensive, about $100. I purchased a new one at Lowes this past spring and it was horrible. Very difficult to start and would not stay running (the oil/gas mix was correct). I took it back to Lowes and upgraded to a Husqvarna 125B Series which was about $150. I loved it. It started reliably and always stayed running when idling. I used it about 2 weeks, 2-3 times/day for about 5 minutes each time. Then the purge bulb cracked. You couldn't start it without getting gas all over your fingers. I took it back to Lowes, and they gave a new one, same model. Exact same thing happened. Unit works fine, but after about the 15th-20th time of starting it, the purge bulb cracked again. You don't engineer a blower that requires pushing the purge bulb 10 times every time you start it, then use a purge bulb that only has a life expectance of about 200 pushes. It's either a poorly engineered unit, or perhaps the purge bulbs are defective.
