My suspicion is there was something wrong with my mix - not enough oil.  Anyone recommend a good oil to use? 

I'll probably replace the cylinder too going on the premise that if the piston is that cooked, it likely has gotten the cylinder out of round enough that the ring won't keep the pressure up like its supposed to.  Lack of pressure means lost power, and that will put a strain on other parts of the saw.

Jim,  if the 55 jug is salvageable & has the closed ports, it has some value to the folks who like to port chainsaws.
