Homelite super XL925 77 or 82ccs?

I've got a homelite superXL 925. I've seen them listed as 77 and 82 cc's were they both? Is there a way to tell which one mine is? Thanks.

Yes they were both. I have a 1991 spec sheet showing them as 77cc. I would post it but I cannot get it small enough. What years they changed I'm not sure.

I also seen a service bulletin showing replacement top ends would be furnished as 77cc units to help cure overheating with them. I wish I would have scanned and saved it.

also measure the bore 2" is 77cc and 2 1/16 was 82cc

here is the p/n from the IPL - A42206A -1 CYLINDER- 2 1/16" bore

Where's Weimedog? He knows this chassis better than anyone I know of. (and he gave me an XL-800, so now I'm hooked as well)

The two Super XL925's I have are both the 2.0625 Bore versions, so they are aprox. 82cc's. The XL-700's along with a couple of others had a 2.00inch bore so those models are the 77cc versions. My New Old Stock 901 barrel has the 2inch bore, so those 901's and possibly 921's are 77cc versions of that saw chassis. I guess anything is possible, but to this point in time I haven't seen a 925 with a 2inch bore. (Those 800's bark suprisingly well...torque is their game, build one with a 20inch bar & chain for a really practical vintage hobby saw!)

So is the 800 a 77cc or 82cc machine?

the XL800 is 82 cc

Sorry for jumping in on your thread. I have an XL700, it is a 2.00" bore. Several Homelites have a 2.00 inch bore. Are all of the pistons for the 2.00" bore the same. My piston is toast. I haven't looked at the cylinder yet. I'd like to find an NOS P/C and rebuild this one right, Joe.

Well acording to Homelite it was more then possible to have a 77cc 925.

This is from 1991.

I've seen the same data but to this point in time I haven't seen a 925 anything with a 2 inch bore...but my 901 is a 2 inch bore. They must be out there somewhere..

You can bet on it.

Keith, my question is will the 2.00 in (50.8 mm) piston from my XL700 fit in say a 901, as mentioned above. I've seen several different Homelites with a 2.00 bore. Someone with a bunch of NOS parts in boxes might have a Piston for a 901 and not know that it fits my 700 too. I'm trying to broaden the search for parts that will interchange, Joe.
