Hello,
I posted a question the other day about which chainsaw to buy. A Stihl 441 or a Husqvarna XP576 and some of the responses suggested that I just put a big bore kit on my Makita 6401. The kit is $129 and I found a guy at a small engine shop today that said he would do it for $100. So if I buy a 24" bar and chain, I should be under $300. I think not bad for a saw that will be 84.5 cc. Has anybody here(I'm sure you have) done this to their 6401 and how has it worked for you. All info will be helpful in deciding which route to take...a new saw or a big bore kit !!!! Thanks
