sxl 925 help

[Jim C]

I'm new to the forum, but have been reading it for awhile now. You guys seem to know what you are talking about. I had been trying to buy a larger stilh chainsaw, but as you guys know the prices are knida high on ebay. While reading about other good saws some of you mentioned that the homelite 925 was a pretty good saw in its time. To make a long story short i bought one on ebay within my budget. The saw arrived not as advertised and after I did get it running it looks like the cir-clip to the wrist pin let loose and scored the cylinder. I asked the seller and he has agreed to give me some of my $ back. My problem now is where can I find a new or used topend to install on the saw? Does anyone have a parts saw with decent compression? I'm in western Massachusetts. Is there a parts supplier around here that still carries an sells these parts? Thanks in advance for any help!!! Jim

I wish you would have bought one of my (6) 925's. As for wrist pin scoring I have seen several. If you decide to buy another saw let me know.

I'm building one, wanna sell it?
Start over from scratch between what they gave you back and sell to me for, and put that money to a reliable saw. Buy one of his six.
