benzin-motorsagen ms650

[Springheeledjack]

Hi all

 

New to the forum, so first off, hello! And thanks in advance for taking the time to look/answer.

 

I've recently acquired a second hand chainsaw that i'm having a bit of difficulty finding much info about. From images on the web it looks just like a stihl ms650, but there's no mention of stihl on it anywhere, just benzin-motorsagen.

 

Anyone have any experience with this sort of machine? Would appreciate any info as to whether it's strengths/weaknesses, part availabilty etc.

 

Cheers!

benzin motorsagen just means petrol motor saw and basically covers all makes of chainsaw.

If it is a PROPER MS650 by Stihl it is an MS660 bottom end with a slightly down sleeved top end so spares are readily available.

 

If it is a Chinese MS650 - it has been named to mislead and is poop and worth £40 against the MS650 being worth £450 - 500

Thanks guys.

 

These are the pics that were with the ebay ad. I'll stick on some proper more detailed pics tomorrow (if need be)

Ha, yes!

It sounds like a Chinese Stihl copy sold by a German outlet, some called Baum agr are in circulation. Fuel caps and choke operation usually gives the copies away.

Don't try it with a 3' bar - it is the Chinese option - at least you didn't pay toomuch for it.

 

I have had similar - the AV falls apart, the recoil pulley is made of cheese, it melts around the spark plug and the chainbrake is a bit iffy - apart from that, you have a bargain:001_rolleyes:

 

If you want a real MS650 - got a nice one for £450:thumbup:

Don't forget the clutch bearing being manufactured with a tolerance of +/- 1mm 😁
