Just musing about Makita 6401's....my HD is going to have some for sale soon from its rental dept. and I'm intrigued by all the stories of upgrading them to 79cc OEM or 84cc BB. Some folks say they come alive when upgraded... others say they cut enuff, stock, if the chain is sharp. then too there was that post witht the timed cuts that showed, supposedly that the upgrade still didn't put the Makita in the same league with 346xp and others.
So...... anybody remember basic rules of creating a reliable science experiment... Would this be valid: Acquire a stock Makita 6401.
put a new sharp chain on it. do some timed cuts. Then put on the OEM. Use the exact same saw to do the exact same timed cuts.
Would this experiment give you valid results on any percentage increases in performance?
Just wondering...
