Question:
After reading reviews on multiple products this 125b seemed to be the best choice so my wife go this for a Christmas present. So when I opened the box one of the blower tubes was defective. So call 1 to Husqvarna to get a replacement. Call 2 was to get the right part. Call 3 was to find out why the thing will not run more than 15 seconds.
So Husqvarna tells me that due to EPA regulations the carburetor needs adjusting and you get a free one at a dealer (not lowes) within 30 days. Wonderful... I spent 30 days waiting for parts and i am going to have to pay to get a unit that has run thirty seconds fixed. There should be documentation on top of the box when you open it that says to take it to a dealer to get set up.
Back in the box and returning to Lowes.
One pet peeve I had trying to get it started is that the handle for starter cord has sharp edges. When you pull, pull straight up...otherwise you will cut your cut your hand.
