Removed the rubber intake boot this evening.  It looked fine and didn't have any cracks.  It was still very flexible.  The clamp that attaches it to the cylinder seemed a little loose, not as tight as I would like to see it, but the screw on the clamp was as tight as it would get.  Tried another hose clamp even though it was a little bigger and tightened it down.  Started the saw and had the problem.  Spraying starting fluid on the right side of the intake boot at the cylinder made it run rich. 

Is there any chance that the cylinder can be ****?  If I take the cylinder head off do I need to replace the gasket or can it be reused?  I don't know where to go from here.

Thanks for the tip on the handle cover.  I will look into the rear handle cover again.  I might have saved me from cutting the bolts if it gives me the extra access.
