I appreciate additional comments from 3000FPS & Fossil.  I lowered my pickup tailgate and went ahead and did the inspection Eccentric suggested.  I'm glad I did b/c it was very telling:  I got an eye-full.  Sometimes one never really knows until one looks & sees.

Wow, is that piston ever damaged.  I'm not sure about "roached" but the skirt is clearly scored.  Also, it looks like there's only one ring (compression ring?) and it's badly scored.  Unfortunately, I've never had a good parts diagram for this engine (hint, hint).

Anyhow, never mind for the time being about any speculation as to the carb. status.  The machinist in me says I should never try to run this saw nomo until the piston/ring & crankshaft seals are replaced.

I do see that cc seals are available; not sure about the piston/ring.

Thanks again for your sage advice, Eccentric - that was spot on.  >:(
