I will second or third the fellows that state a lean burn issue that over heated the piston. The temperatures are warmer than normal this year. In warm weather you can lean out a two cycle too much and it will not get enough oil to lube and will also run hot. I hope not for your pocket book.
What I have found helps in warm or hit running of two cycles is running them richer than you normally would. When you adjust the carb. richen it up to where the motor is real doggy and then just lean it down a little to where it runs well.
