The coils go bad pretty often, there are some AM ones available.

Broken PTO side cases is common, some can be fixed.

Muffler is trash. the bottom near the bracket is broken off and some of the surrounding metal is missing. Don't think I will be able to fix it. Piston has some carbon scoring. Will pull apart in the morning and see what the cylinder looks like. Looks like I am going to lose on this one. But I guess that is how it goes sometimes. It will be a nice saw when I am done. What would you all do buy a new oe piston or aftermarket?

Meteor piston. And see about finding a donor case to cut a piece to weld in. Take a closer pic of the missing piece if you don't mind

I sure can and did. It is not as bad as it looks from just the front view. Up close it seems to be a lot smaller of a piece missing.

That piece doesn't really affect anything there if the horizontal mount is tight. There's plenty of aftermarket mufflers for $20 or so. Oem is almost $90. You can put a piece on to protect the spring by bolting it to the 2 holes on the lower front like the west coast saws have.

Exhaust side of the piston. Looks like a lean seize and not a carbon score.

Intake side of the piston.

Cylinder on the exhaust side.

The piece is shown in this ad. Just make it wider to go all the way to the spikes. Cylinder should clean up by the looks of it.
