Oops my bad I accidentally hit post... But ya first time I've come acrossed something like this.

What machine?

Ugh! thats a bad one! ^Yes what machine^ It maybe cheaper easier to just buy a new cylinder.

Looks like an aluminum weld fix.

-Weld an aluminum stud in place long enough to nut the muffler/carb on. This is not the best solution if your going to rip the saw apart again, as the aluminum stud may lend to leaking via stretching from heat/torque.
-Find a steel rod that fits inside the threaded hole and lightly JB weld it in the busted side. Then build up aluminum with a welder around the rod until there's enough to re-tap after you yank out the steel rod.

Or just ditch cut out the remanence of the threads, weld it back in solid and shoot a new hole.

Well some guys cant drill a hole in the right spot at the right angle unless there's a pilot there to start.... Either way is dill baby drill and tap-tap-tap.

Drill out the busted stud.
Weld it up, drill/tap.
Or, drill out oversized and tap to m8x1.25 and JB weld in a 5/16”, non-graded bolt. Drill/tap back to m5. Must be Uber-clean, use Acetone, not brake cleaner which leaves a film.
I did that on a 350 that looked like your.

That's pretty wild, I'm stealing the word acrossed off of you if you don't mind.

Weird grammer, words that aren't words, and some "real" problems. He's worth a follow.

Well Luckily in my case I have a jet drill press with both a cross slide vise and a adjustable angle vise.
It's a 500i. I'm not sure what exactly happened. Never seen it like this. It's Usually just stripped out threads. Not a big chunk of aluminum.

Access granted! Reminds me when I took things for granite that my grammar would always make me synonym rolls!!

If you come acrossed another good one let your boy know.

I mean I guess dirko could work. But I've only ever used red rtv on exhaust manifolds, not chainsaw mufflers.
