If that plug is a brownish color that pretty much indicates the saw was tuned about correctly .Whitish would be lean and black too rich .

If it didn't pull a bunch of aluminum off the piston I'd just clean it and the cylinder up with Scotch -Brite and kerosine and stick another set of rings in it .Although a set of rings can last a long time they do wear out after a time .

Some of the scoring marks were deep enough to see where the brown marks covered it where it scored the piston.
