Scratched cyliner/not bored? Big 'Maybe' -a ball hone MAY clean up scratches without going over piston/cylinder clearance specifications. Knurled piston skirt and +.005 service rings if available might put the engine back in service. Slightly oversize rings used to to available(late 70s) for SOME Kohler and a few Brigges&Scrapiron models when I was working in small engine supply shop. If lower end still OK or minimal repairable, repairs are possible maybe 1/2 the time. Running low/out of oil is not good for engines, does make for short block and engine sales- old engines given to school shops as training aids were sometimes repaired this way and ran mowers,tillers, scooters. No Warrantee, good training, minimal complaints. RN.
