I've got a pretty good friend over on AS who has revived at least 2 scored cylinders for his 82cc Macs.The process involves boring out the old cylinder & putting an iron or steel sleeve in & machining it to the proper specs.I figured if he could have it done for his Mac saws,why not do it on a Homelite cylinder?I'm thinking about you guys who are in need of a cylinder for the XP series (100cc) & the SXL-925s.You'd need to supply a piston that'd be used.The cylinder must be stripped down,bare cylinder,& he doesn't put the engine back together for ya,you're on your own there.The cost was under $150 (can't buy a new cylinder for that price even if ya found one).The guy he has do the work has a small machine shop in W.V.The price also beats the hell out of sending the cylinder to U.S.Chrome,where I've heard they're now charging in excess of $325,not including shipping.I've also heard that ya need to go through a dealer,not many Homelite dealers around anymore.
