I assume you mean the exhaust port with the muffler removed? My Echo book shows scraping with a wooded stick...Bob

Remove the cylinder and use a wooded dowel sharpen to make a scraper. Spray the port witha carbon removal product sold by mercury marine called powertune. Let it sit over night the scrape carbon off.

If it's (the cylinder) off the saw I've found that hot water will soften it and a pan scourer, some will know as a scotchbrite pad, will bring most of it off. If you have to scrap it, I suppose it makes sense that you use either aluminium or something softer. I've used the edge of a steel blade where needed, just be careful.

Straight gas will help a bit too.

Kristoffer , 30wt. detergent motor oil will soften the thick carbon so it can be easily removed .

brake fluid works wonders.....in the old days when ya used to have a problem with carbon build up in the ring groove.....used to pour brake fluid in the spark plug hole, then quickly put plug in, and flip upside down, and roll the crank untill the piston hits the fluid, then leave set for a day. drain and start.......lotta crap will blow out the exaust, and free up rings.........

I'd think that would be kinda risky since you're blowing all that hard carbon out the exhaust, I'd be worried about ruining a piston or something.
