Thanks youngster

Due to some physical limitations there are certain things I know better than to attempt. I wanted one of my Makita 6401 bumped up to a 7900. Knew I couldn’t do it but after corresponding with @Mac&Homelite and bartering a deal he agreed to upgrade my 6401 to 7900. All parts and advice came from @fordf150. A big thanks to both of these men to helping me achieve a true, imho, monster saw. @Mac&Homelite has some video in absolutely horrible conditions if he wants to upload them. There is hope for this country if he is even a small representation of the upcoming generation. Can’t forget @CJ Brown for giving me the “blue flu”. Haven’t run it yet, just came 10 minutes ago and wind chill is sub-zero. Need to mod muffler and throw on the 24” bar for final tuning. Thanks to all.

5 years ago I’ld be out there now instead of answering you. But my hand circulation is terrible after the stroke so as bad as I want to I gotta wait.

I want to see you get it running first. Then I'll be happy!

I have no doubts.

Here you go guys! It was a little chilly outside at the time of filming, but was it ever worth it. Caught the dang blue flu from running the thing. Also, don't knock me too hard on the tuning. First time I've run one of these saws so I tried to set it conservatively for the break in.

Who wrote that code? Look at that cord!!

I'm hopeing to pick up a 7900 this year. Saw looks good.

A sparky here, always ground on top. That way if plug comes off the wall and still has enough prong sticking in it’ll ground out instead of shocking you. Again code in most places and 100% in hospitals or nursing homes.

As us old guys say, “Ya dun good.” When he filmed this it was -10.

Yes, the upside down plug likes to pull out the appliance plugs!!

 

[Cycledude]

So how many cc is a Makita 7900 ?

 

[Deleted member 149229]

78.5 cc, 5.7 hp.

 

[fordf150]

ground on top would put my OCD into overdrive, on about day 2 of living there i would have every outlet flipped

 

[blsnelling]

There's a lot left on the table with that tune. That's fine for break-in, but it'll run much stronger once leaned out a bit.

Believe it or not... the intent was for the user to visually see that the safety ground prong was intact when the plug was inserted. The other way around it is hard to see.

nice freezer!
