STIHL FS90R

This STIHL FS90R Brushcutter in for service, no mention that they had wrecked it.  Engine was just hanging on the lower screw because the other two had broken out along with the housing. These are notorious for self destructing when one of the clutch shoes gets stuck and throws it all out of balance and vibration becomes horrendous.

You would have thought they would have said something about the vibration!!

But having said that I have encountered some right heavy-handed users of equipment.

Is this machine now a right-off?

Well they don't want it repaired and have opted to replace the machine.  It actually started and ran well apart from the vibration, and to be honest it's a good job I didn't grab the engine from underneath while it was running as it would have taken a finger off lol..  Flywheel was exposed.
