Start with the simple stuff- is the muffler screen plugged? If they can't exhaust the charge they'll do just what you describe. I've had at least a dozen weed whackers do that.
The 330 is a pretty nice little saw. I've worked on a couple. IIRC that model has a boot that goes between the carb and jug. If that's torn or has a hole in it you won't get it to fire much. Bad part with that is that you have to buy a big assy to get the boot, it's not offered separately that I've seen.
It's possible it's off time, but that's a pretty rare thing IME. On an electronic ignition, as I understand it, the spark is triggered by the magnets as they pass by. There's an Ebay auction for a coil for about $20.00 on right now. Just enter Echo 330t, it's about halfway down the page. Theres also a flywheel and what is supposed to be that boot I spoke of, but it looks wrong.
ETA- I missed the post where you said the boot was okay. Check the muffler screen.

Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
