A smear of grease works fine. All rubber used in chainsaws should be oil resistant, and the intake tract definitely is.
On a side note, make sure you don’t over torque the carb mount bolts. They strip more easily than most.

The little piece of tube? Just press it into the cyl. The impulse barb of the carb mount holds it in place. No oil or grease needed

I wonder if he’s putting a new piece of tube in that is on the small side.

i’ve already used a piece of fuel line for that hose. It turns out to fit as well as oem piece but if you can get it in place, it works fine

As or even more critical is to ensure the threads starting properly and not trying to cut new and stripping out the threads that way as well.
This for those wanting to know, this can be easily achieved by simply turning the fastener slowly backwards until it is felt dropping into the threads in the starting position. All that is required at that point is to promptly stop and turn the fastener forward until it bottoms and is snugly fit.
