Husqvarna 3120 barn find

[thedustyboot]

Scored this old beauty today, I believe it’s a 1989 based off the 300 year decal on it. Stoked to tear it down and get it cleaned up.

Any advice from the community about what to look for when rebuilding this old girl?

Pull muffler and inspect piston for scoring first. If that checks out I’d vacuum/pressure test. If it passes replace fuel hose, fuel filter, and carb kit. And of course clean or replace air filter, spark plug, etc.

Unlimited coil , and adjustable H speed carb would be cool , duel port the muffler ,

Any possibility you might have part numbers for that? Or maybe an eBay link? Enough to get me pointed in the right direction anyway

272xp unlimited coil , you’d have to do some research, but there out there, or put a wanted ad on this forum someone will have it possibly, 587 32 96-01 is the ignition module, If you can find a adjustable H speed carb it would help a lot with the unlimited coil ,

I had a 1989 3120 that kept losing the bar studs in the tank. That was a piss-poor design.

I've been told that the 89s came with an unlimited coil, is that not true?

It’s possible, in that first run not exactly sure thoe. , the adjustable H speed carb is the key with the unlimited coils on later and current models,
