Burning Hunk
Picked this up for cheap. Looks like a parts run is in order.

"That's not burnt, it's just darkened"
From the Most overused excuse youtube cooks use when they try to show off their wanna be grilling "skills".
 
Do just some saws use two piston rings or just the bigger ones. I really don't know.
 
Love those cheap buys where a new piston and cylinder get'em up and runnin like new! In some models the gasket on the cylinder can be thinner than stock or, left out in lieu of permatex, for some extra compression. Then it's better than new! Go get'em.

What's the repair kit go for? $150-200?

You should be able to reuse the cylinder bringing your repair price way down.
