They quit making them in BLUE. I always tried to buy BLUE one.

I always bought blue and hard for next guy to scam someone years down the road that way.

The G3120 looks just like a husky. All orange. I would have liked a all blue. But I have no need for these anymore.

I bought one of my oem back and was like wth did I do that. Sold it 2 days later.

Also why as soon as I took this one in I listed it FS.

It was woods ported by friend out west Jason Egan and ran sweet. Unlimited coil with H side carb.

Reason shown in this other pic PHO weight even more then G888 MS880

Ran by owner 3 options. Oem, afm carbs and redneck fix.

The redneck fix. Smooth the worn lips. Shape plate back to work. Take a longer screw from another carb. Loctite the heck out of it.

She lives. Choke fix worked.

I know its just like any thing else, if you do it enough you get good at it, but I am always impressed with people that are good at carb work. I am a pretty handy guy. I can wrench on many things and learned as a farm kid where dad and grandpa were cheap and didn't believe in paying someone to do something they could figure out. But the fine art of carburetors I just haven't picked up yet. I have a guy that fixes atvs for me and he's amazing at it. Can take any small engine and just make it run like new.

I've learned over the years that corn squeezed gas (ethanol) and chainsaws don't get along well, least in my world they don't because my saws sit a lot and are not used so the corn squeezed gas coagulates in the carbs and causes issues and why I run syn gas, in my case Echo Red Armor 50-1. Saves me the grief of gummy carbs. Not for frequent users but in my situation it works very well. Nice thing about syn gas is it can sit in 2 stroke equipment for a long time and not cause issues and an unopened can of Red Armor has a 2 year shelf life.
