The XL-925 was such a good saw, Homelite couldn't sell the other models out at the time. I'm sure the production costs were quite high on the 925. No plastic.

if i read the memo correctly it says use 2.0 while rebuilding under warranty Nothing in the TB mentions warranty repair. This was a production change and as a result a recommendation to retro fit older saws if doing a rebuild. It probably wasn't a problem in the northern states and Canada.

I have several IPLs in PDF that I've downloaded. In the case of the Super XL 925 Chain Saw UT-10415-C, the same IPL is used for all the 10415 A - D The service memo says the change to 2" bore happened with the -C version which would also mean Homelite would have released a new Revision of the IPL. There is lots of Homelite stuff scanned into PDF but that doesn't mean it is accurate. All the Homelite IPLs at one site have been altered by deleting the first and last page so one cannot tell for sure what UT the IPL belongs to. In this case, all the IPLs I have for the 925 show the 2 1/16" bore even thou the listing says UT-10415-C

Sorry, but still alot of details left unanswered in my mind. There has to be a root to the reason why they did it. Dan Dan, did you read my theory about the compression change? Do you have a 925 with a -C UT#

Dan, did you read my theory about the compression change? Do you have a 925 with a -C UT# Yes, and its a very viable theory. Its as good a guess as any, but its still just that, a guess. I'll sleep tonight without any problems, but its another of those Homelite mysteries that would be nice to get the full truth about. And yes, I have a couple of Cs. My avatar pic is a C rev 925. Both of these are almost NOS, so I never took a wrench to either. If I didn't have to bend the lock tabs to remove the muffler, I'd give a look inside, but ain't gonna put a scratch on either of these, not now anyway. Maybe deep down inside I like to think they're all 5 cubes like their other counterparts so its better not to know. One day curiosity will win, but not today. Dan

This is the answer to your question "I got a sxl-925 from 1992 and the owners manual said it was 77ccs and my older ones are from the 70's. But one of there manuals say 82.1ccs. Why are they different ccs ?".
A.) 925 Super XL, 77 cc (a strong saw)
B.) 925W Super XL, 82 cc (a GREAT, powerful saw) bigger, better and a full wrap handle but, it is a rare saw.
I loved this chainsaw when I was on a firefighting hand crew and still do. On fires I mostly used it with a western brush bow bar for California chaparral, not the more common eastern bow bar that is used mainly for small log bucking. Off the fireline in fire fuel breaks projects I mostly used a straight bar with a roller tip for bucking and falling coniferous trees.
See it here in the Youtube video link.
