Sorry to hear about your son's saw. If you get it repaired or you purchase A new saw do not use ethanol based fuel.
The alcohol in the gas cuts the oil film on the cylinder wall and there goes your lubrication. Seize up will shortly follow.
In my state (Minnesota) the hot rod and motorcycle lobby persuaded the powers that be to allow the sale of non-ethanol fuel for there older engines and it can also be used in small engines that can't tolerate the alcohol. Perhaps your state has the same program.
Good Luck!
