Default RE: 41cc homelite XL-1 gas glow conversion

today i got some time to get a bit of work done to the engine.
but the question is...is it worth converting?
the reasons,
got the jug of today and the engine has been previously siezed, scoring filled with carbon on exhaust side of piston.
there is a fair bit of big end slop which is likely to get worse.

but on a good note, it has high compression, a good seal and an "L" ring (pretty rare now days, just a 1/4" thick single ring)

due to these problems is it worth doing the conversion, i was planning on getting a CH ignition module cause it has ol' points ign[&:]
what do i do? try and find a better quallity engine or use this old clunker?
