    Question:
    I have a 125B Husqvarna 125B leaf blower. Has worked great for three or four years (I don't recall exactly when I bought it). Suddenly it hardly runs. Had to keep choking it and now it won't start at all. Replaced the spark plug and gas/oil mixture and cleaned the air filter. Still won't run.

    Suggestions?

    Bill,

    If you do not "winterized" your product for any period over a month and you leave just a little bit of gas in the machine, the fuel will go stale and cause the jets in the carburetor to clog (Varnish) over. You can try some products that may help, one specifically is called START and is available at automotive stores and Wal-Mart. By Winterize I mean if the unit is going to sit for more than a week or 2 run it out of gas completely.

    If this does not work then the carburetor may need to be repaired/rebuilt or replaced and should be preformed by a certified technician.

    Here is out dealer locator if you need to have the unit looked at.
