Ok I have fixed my blow back problem today on the 2300.    I have worked on enough of these things to know when it is excessive and when it is not.   
The first thing I did was to pull the reed assembly out of the saw, take the reed off and put a straight edge against the plastic.    I could see a small amount of warping, so I cut a small piece of a file off so it would fit and filed all the surfaces flat.   
Then I noticed the carb sits right above the reed valve and decided not to over tighten it thinking it could be distorting the plastic.

I see absolutely no blow back through the carb now.  The saw also idles better.
