So I picked up a 330 (from the curb), gave it a teardown (following Leon's video - many thanks for that) to make sure the intake boot was viable. Along the way, I found the following:
Case - looks like it was sitting on concrete for quite some time as the bottom shroud, handle, flywheel housing, crankcase and dust cover are all corroded to near failure, Clutch area - clutch cover bar adjusting screw mount is broken and needs a new sprocket Gas tank missing duck bill not sure about the oiler pulled the muffler to look at piston and cylinder -looks good, no scratches in either.
intake boot is good
put it back together, checked spark and shot some 16:1 gas down the carb. Fired right up.
Feels like lots of compression, but still have to measure it. Has a good bar with nose sprocket and good chain.
Put together a list and searched for used parts - gonna cost $100 or so to get it better.
What do you all think?

Sounds like Leon has a plan, he is perhaps after that good boot!

You may be able to find another 330 that has a good "body",but has a bad engine & just do a swap.Before you get too far into it make sure the saw oils.It seems to be a common problem with the 2 I own & another member or 2 here have the same problem.

I’m not sure of Leon’s plan (but I’m sure its a good one). In my neck of the woods a 330 is a pretty common saw and can be had cheap especially if not running. I bet if you kept an eye out you’d be able to find one that had a good case inexpensively, and then any other usable parts would be a bonus!

My plan is simple...I have a wreck of a 330 on my shop floor that has a lot of good parts and I'm tired of tripping over it! When cg23cpo puts together a list of what he needs, I'm going to make him a deal that he can't pass up
so I have an excuse to part the danged thing out and be done with it!
