Hey Studs,
Well just sent my Stihl 038Mag & 044 packing a couple days ago for a decent package deal and some extra dough.
My logic went something like this, "Well, that season of heavy saws and monstrous log cutting is over, my little MS 261-c can do 90% of the heavy lifting yada, yada, yada!"
It hasn't' been 3 freaking days and I've already got "sellers remorse!!"
Found two Home Depot deals on the Makita 64cc DCS642120Q for less than $200 each.
I"ll be there 1st thing in the morning!
Thinking wayyyyyyyyyyyy ahead as usual.
After much reading I've decided if I hook up, to upgrade the piston/cylinder...NOT BB.
I'd rather go OEM.
Where can I find the best deal on OEM for this saw and what type adjustments need to be done?
Last, but not least how does a Makita 7900 compare with a great Stihl 044 performance & durability wise?
btw...52mm or 54mm I'm seeing both listed?
Thanks
Reg
