I am new to the site and have had a Makita 6401 (20" bar - I bought this after my Stihl 042AV died) for about a year. We heat exclusively with wood (Red fir, Western Larch, Birch, and various pines). I am a homeowner/hobby saw operator. I cut approx. 5 cords of wood a year. Here is my problem.....
I have been lurking on the site for a while and have read several posts regarding BB kits, tuning, muffler porting, filters, and various mods. It has me asking the question if this is something that would be good for me and my saw? Bigger, faster, more efficient all sound good to me but where to start? Also, what chain type/configuration is best for what I cut?
So, can anyone offer some suggestions as what I should do to make the saw an even better cutter?
I appreciate the help.
