Beyond the possibility of the thickness of the piston rings being changed during the production run and the start up of the 930s, the use of the "Super" label was marketing as far as I know.

It has been said before here that the Supers had a redesigned intake to the transfers, with transfers starting in the case? To be more specific, the case was prepared for this from the outset, but the non-Super 920 cylinders didn't take advantage of it?

I don't remember who stated this, but it was someone that I usually trust....
 
...... Of course, I am not including the mythical 100cc 910 that may or may not exist. ......

I am reasonably sure that version was stopped before actual production (other than prototypes) by Electrolux and/or Husqvarna, and the Partner P100 pressed into service as the Jonsereds 1020 instead.

I'm very far from a expert on these but my 920 super didn't take advantage of it either nor did any others. I thought only the 930's did.

So am I, and my memory may be off of course - note the question marks! :msp_wink:

At least that topic "on the table" here now. :givebeer:

First, there was no 930, only the 930 Super. With the 920 it was just the later ones being Supers. They never made a "Standard" and a "Super" together. On another note, I have seen brochures with a 920E, but never seen a saw labeled that way.

Yep, at some point in the production run of 920s they became "Super". I was told that it corresponded with the change in piston rings but I have no evidence of that.

It is hard to tell when looking at the used saws I find because most have been repaired numerous times so nothing should be assumed to be factory.

That would be a good find as an intact 920, I have never seen one. I pretty much just assumed that was the reason for the model change to the 930.

The 60mm P/C set on a 910 would be quite the monster, they probably did not want to scare folks that much.

I now have this 920 to add to the line-up--this came from DeviousDave. The differences between this and 920 Super are clearer. It is the immediate follow-up to 910. The chainbrake cover is from the 910 along with the metal recoil housing. Without pulling the muffler, I assume the cylinder is close ported like it's Super cousin. And, of course, it is still sporting the 'Jonsereds' with an 's' tradename.

I have already found a brake band and replaced the Stihl recoil grip with a Jonsey original. All that I am missing is the sawdust flap under the clutch cover--my rougher 910 may donate this part.

Didnt the latter 2094's come with a decomp? I know my dads 2094 was a real jewell to start.......It is an early 2094. Nice thread btw
 
Nice set of saws. It can be hard to locate mufflers sometimes, certainly if the "correct" muffler is desired. I am not usually that picky. The largest bore that I have come across for those was a Mahle 57mm, supposedly factory for the 910s. Put the 910 at 95cc, I asked a couple of the local folks and posted a thread here but did not get any other information. The stand out comment from one of the locals was sometimes a fellow could get his hands on a real runner.

Other than the one 57mm P/C the rest have been the 54mm 9xxs. One of the reps mentioned on the 930s that there was supposedly a run of 56mm P/C but I have not seen any of those.

I really enjoy the 2094/95s but do not use them much anymore since sourcing local parts is pretty much over.

Also wanted to elaborate a little on the mufflers reputation, it was not uncommon for them to burn through, especially at the corners or around the openings. I pretty much just expect to need to find a muffler if I was purchasing a used loggers saw. The 2094/95 mufflers were well known for dropping the deflector and burning through the chain brakes, so add a brake flag to costs of restoring a logger's saw. If they were harshly dented then they would typically burn through the dent creases. I have brazed and mig welded lots of those mufflers just so I did not have to beat on a new one. The other mufflers in the 900 series have been a rare local find for a good long while.

Those saws were quite popular locally after the 920s came out, the 910s sold well enough by the one dealers account but things took off with the 920/930s.
What's a brake flag? I have a 2095 that I'm fixing up and don't have the alum. deflecter 'tween the muffler and cylinder but this sounds like something different...
