    Stihl MS650 -- broken -- rebuild?

    Ha! Good question...I had forgotten this thread. Yes...we used it on a big pine, Irma related, about 3 weeks ago. It did just fine. We had the shop just replace what was necessary and are running it with broken fins, no problems so far. We just bid on an $8300 storm job...big hickory on a...
