DON'T HONE IT. You will remove the plating in the cylinder. Just do emory cloth and elbow grease. If the galling didnt gouge through the plating then you can use Muriatic acid and a qtip and it will eat the aluminum and not the plating. BUT do it slow because IF there is a scratch through the plating you will make it deeper and ruin the jug...ask me how I learned that one. Nice grab btw.Thanks for the insights. I'm definitely going to hold on to the original cylinder and I'll do what I can to get the clump of aluminum off the wall of it. Then I'll hone it and put it on the shelf.
I'm not really sure, but it looked like someone ran the saw without bar oil and overheated the bar and the saw itself. If I had taken a picture of the piston while the rings were still on it, There was aluminum covering the rings. As if they expanded too much and gouged the cylinder.
As for the intake boot, it basically looks brand new. The carb even looked like it had been gone through.
