Just bought a Stihl BG-86C and it's gone to work with no adjustment necessary. Awesome for a handheld unit. Still have my old BG-85 that has been running for years and seen a lot of use. It's still doing duty and has not even had a spark plug change. Great hardware.
I absolutely love my husqvarna 125b i had to turn my high speed jet out a quarter or half turn to fix the bogging down when throttling up. It was like that from the factory. You can grind down the tip of a set of needle nose to get down into the adjustment screw. Take care im a small engine tech in st charles MO ✌
Not a fair comparison. The BG86 is comparable to the Husqvarne 525BX not the 125b. The 125b is comparable to the Still BG56. This video is comparing Stihls pro model with Husqvarnas entry level home owner model.
I had two 125b and agree about carb adjustment being required. Overall a decent workhorse for me. I replaced one of them with a Dolmar 4 stroke handheld and I am very impressed with it.
In my case they started revving too high over a few months of work. You can adjust them yourself with a screwdriver as there are high and low adjustments next to the air cleaner and carb. If you are patient research it since there are videos for this and you can do it yourself.
I appreciate the vidoe I gave it a thumbs up, I know the stihl coast 100 more but you also have to work on it a lot less. my advice you get what you pay for. Thanks for your time.
Sou bem mais a husqvarna ..dura bem mais e quebra menos..a sthil trabalha com sistema só na lojinha por isso quebra mais prós clientes viver lá gastando ..o husqvarna da pra comprar até no mercado..e mais preparada pra tudo.
I have the Husky 125 B and its now starting to bog when pulling the trigger hard for full throttle. I have to baby the trigger up to full throttle so it doesn't bog. Don't understand why Husqvarna makes their high and low carb adjusters to where you have to buy a special tool but I guess Im going to Amazon to find one
Most all brands need special tool for carburetor adjustment..buy a whole set on Amazon to cover all of em for 16 bucks. It’s actually a government thing..they don’t want people messing with them because of emissions.
What are you talking about a “little bit”? “Not much difference”? That’s a good 3-4’ bro!!! STIHL is superior, it’s easier to work on, is built with the mechanic in mind, they’re just better. Husqvarna IS second, but it’s SECOND, ONLY after STIHL. Both of them are better than anything else out there. Echo USED to be good, but now they’re too cheap. Husqvarna sold out to Lowe’s. Husqvarna has like 5 different tools it needs. Husqvarna uses open cell foam air filters. I don’t know what else you need to know, they made a very small number of outstanding machines, but even those were tough to work on and used crappy foam air filters. STIHL costs more and is just the best, hands down.
I have one of these 125b blowers and it failed to start the last time I tried to start it. The previous use was a week or so earlier and I worked it pretty hard clearing leaves from the lawn. I have had this unit now for a couple of years and it has yet to cause me issue one until now. I have tried repeatedly to start it and it just will not fire. I have replaced the plug and removed the air filter and it still won't start. I sprayed starter fuel into the carb and still, no ignition. I am a little stumped because this blower has started without fail on the first or second pull of the rope since the day I purchased it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Why would you buy a Husqvarna and have to adjust it immediately upon taking it out of the box? I don't get paid to be their quality control!. I have went through 4 this month alone. None of them will stay running right out of the box. Going to buy keep exchanging until the refuse to replace or I get one that will work.
You can thank the EPA. They make them leave the factory set for a certain pollution exhaust output. If you richen it up, it does much better. If you took a Stihl blower directly out of the box, I assure you it would not be ideally set either. Stihl keeps a handle on this by ONLY selling via dealerships, so the are certain when the customer is not on the hook for tuning it up, as most Americans are woefully inept about such things. When you buy any product from a real dealer, not a big box store they almost always tune up the carb for you before you leave the store, a big box store won't do that. That is why you shouldn't buy from anywhere but a servicing dealer, no matter the brand. Brands that sell at big box stores are only hurting their reputation.
