Here’s a good one! That I almost ruined. Some history on it. I got it with a bunch of saws from an old timer who was retiring from his small engine business. Great guy. This saw was brought in for service by a doctor in 1987. (Service tag was still on it) Had a broken clutch, I guess he bought a new one or hired a guy since he never had it repaired. I found a clutch, and the saw runs great. These SEZ saws were very high compression run like it. I used it and after it cooled put it back in the case. I left it under the deck, I was using it the next day. It rained and the case had an inch of water in it. I was furious at myself. I drained it and ran it. Dodged a bullet it ran fine. Few months later I grab it and the rope won’t budge. ****, it wasn’t all dry. Today I dug in a bit. Rings weren’t rusty and it was just below the port. Recoil off and the flywheel turned. Recoil pulley was gummed. Lucky

That one looks show room. I guess the Doc didn’t use it much before that clutch let go.
I was given a pretty nice 350 awhile ago that I finally got around to trouble shooting. It ended up needing a new carburetor boot and new fuel/impulse lines. It has spark, so I decided to try to rehab it.
The original boot in the 350 had a "flange" that covered the whole carb sealing surface (including the bolts). The new boot does not have the larger sealing surface (rev c version of the boot). Pictures below.
Original boot with 'flange'
New boot installed.
My question is do I need to add part number 29 and 30 from this parts diagram to get the carb to seal? This is a later parts diagram from a 360 and my 350 did not have those 2 parts originally.
Here are some general pictures. I don't believe it was used much.
