The Husqvarna 120 Mark II is a 40cc home owner chainsaw that has caught some flack in the review world. Is it that bad? Take a look at what I think of the saw. #chainsaw #husqvarna #
I don't know anything about chainsaws, but I have this saw and it sat in my shed for 3 or 4 years (with -40C winters). I took it out recently, and it started first try without even changing the old gas haha. Take that for what you will!
That’s awesome! She fired up eh! I’ll make a suggestion to you. You should dump that old gas and use the premix type gas you can purchase at the hardware store. Yes it’s more expensive but it has like a 3 year shelf life so leaving it in the saw for long periods like you do, you should have an easier time with running it! Just a suggestion. Thanks for tuning in! ✌️Stay well
@@Northofsomething82 I actually picked up some oil to mix new gas yesterday planning to change it, but maybe I'll get some of the pre-mixed stuff and use that before I put it away for any period again. I want to cut a bunch of wood for the firepit for the summer. Thanks!
@brennanmoran7990 Good luck. Hope you get her going. I have a carb tuning video on my channel for that saw if you run into trouble. Take care! Enjoy the fires in your pit! ✌️
I’ve got a landscaping bussiness came from a huskvana 45 special and got this as a present from Chrissy by some relatives honestly quite surprised at how well it performs for the price point
Get the tuning driver in case you have to adjust out of the box. I have a video on tuning if you need help with that. Hope you have a good experience ✌️
Great little saw for clearing blow down over trails. Light and easy to pack away. Perfect for 4X4ing. Just make sure you check the tuning out of the box. ✌️
Very happy with this video buddy a lot ppl do not under stand Why run like that I buy a weed eater same brand run like this I got running good after adjusting the carburetor and then I got rid of it and sold it Yes u are right not a pro saw just a home owner saw u get out few months To use or only gets used for fire wood season
After watching this review I decided to buy one of these little saws in the uk. I’ve only used it once for about an hour just cutting up a bit of firewood on my driveway and it was pretty much what I expected from a cheap “diy” saw. And because I didn’t have unrealistic expectations I’m pretty happy with the quality of it when you take the price into consideration. I’ve got a makita dcs5121 that is great and I use it for bigger logs and anything the new little husky isn’t man enough for. But I wanted a little saw that’s lighter and easier to cut up the smaller stuff with, that in reality probably won’t get that much use hence the purchase. Interestingly though mine came with dogs I didn’t need to buy any. I can’t see what all the negative reviews are about with this saw it’s a cheap saw. Maybe people just expect a professional saw for £150 🤷🏻♂️
Hello Carl. I’m glad this review was helpful. Yes, it’s all about having realistic expectations my friend. The saw is perfect for exactly what you are using it for. Take care brother eh! ✌️cheers!
Very nice saw i use it oftenly when clearing overgrown forest parts where the small saw thrives for removing branches and smaller treas but u have to follow the starting procedure then if u put more fuel and the saw is hot just pull choke all the way pump gas 6 times choke back to half and pull let it idle few sec then rev
Has nobody noticed that the number on the label he shows on the saw is not Mark II 120, the label is upside down and it looks like the number is 150, not 120?
my huski 120 has done no more than 2h work. now it bogs down with small load. i tried adjusting carb , idals good, good response, bogs down badly with small load. i,m get out my stihl 009l and fixing it instead.
@horseshoe182 yes good idea. If you were running rich, check that spark arrestor screen in the muffler too. Should be able to see through it. If it’s plugged it could cause bogging too. Good luck brother! ✌️
Hey Darren. Can’t get her running good eh… I’ll try and get a carb tuning video up. Maybe that will help. There is lots out there. One that comes to mind it at a channel called “Steve’s small engine saloon”. Heavy smoking could be your mix of oil to gas. I run 40:1 in most of my saws. Take care ✌️
@@Northofsomething82 I run a sthil ms 211 ,echo 4500 and this husky all on 50 to 1 ,love steves small engine saloon,love what you done with muffler ,may give that a go ,keep the videos coming bud
I like my 120 ,I was cutting firewood today.
Always start with half choke.

Hey Weeksy. Thanks for tuning in! The 45 is a great old saw. My father in law has one. Take care bother! ✌️
It's a great saw for the price. Way better than Chinese crap. I have taken down some decent trees en firewood.
The cheap 120 is made in China.
Just ordered one on amazon for $200. Hope it's good. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I'm cutting 20 inch red gum logs and I have friends with bigger bars and chains and they struggle to keep up
Got one on its way, cant wait to test it out when i go 4x4ing.

@@Northofsomething82 will do.
I have 2 120s and I have owned the 440e and there is no difference

Very good explanation mate, super helpful 🫡
Thank you for the compliment. ✌️

Hey there. That is a 120 II in my hands. I don’t believe Husqvarna makes a 150. I have a few other videos with the same saw in it in the channel. ✌️
I have one of those, it does ok for a smallish saw. I just hate that they seem to slobber oil all the time👍
Yeah definitely some issues with the oiler. Mine pumps out too much. ✌️
my huski 120 has done no more than 2h work. now it bogs down with small load. i tried adjusting carb , idals good, good response, bogs down badly with small load. i,m get out my stihl 009l and fixing it instead.
That’s too bad. Your air filter is clean and spark arrestor is not plugged?
@@Northofsomething82 air air filter was cleaned, its still white like new. im going to change fuel type and oil ratio, a bit smokie, ill check plug.
@horseshoe182 yes good idea. If you were running rich, check that spark arrestor screen in the muffler too. Should be able to see through it. If it’s plugged it could cause bogging too. Good luck brother! ✌️
I bought one 3 years ago ,piece of crap ,never ran well ,even after adjusment still smokes ,a carb tune video would be more useful ! Darren, England

Thank you Darren. Steve’s channel has helped me out with lots of tinkering. Sorry you are having a bad experience with this saw. ✌️🏴
В мане теж 120 м 2 проблем немає перепиляв дуже багато дров як працювала так і працює і менше лазити до неї
