Homelite Chainsaw 330, won't start after warmed up?

I have a Homelite Chainsaw, 330. I can get it started when it is cold and it runs fine. Once it stalls or runs out of gas, I can't get it running again. Installed new spark plug, new gas, cleaned air filter. Any suggestions? Model # Ut10604

worn rings and or bore. all old worn saws do this, the barrell
expands as the engine warms up and causes low compression
you could probably get by with new piston rings.
Also the carb is connected to the crankcase with a rubber
boot which splitsand allows air in. this causes the engine to
idle very fast. a lot of dismantling is needed to get to the boot.
