An 036 boot fits pretty well, minus the impulse portion, which is easily remedied. I tried an 039 carb and would have to carve out the top of the carb box. An 044 carb fits without carving?The saw I'm working on was using an 038 boot. I found the boot to be too long and to have a square bottom at the port entry point which would interfere with flow. That flat portion would site again the flat wall of an 038 port. The stud rotation of the 026 made it just not fit right.
An 044 boot with some sealant at the jug lip seems to work just fine.
The carb and air filter do still fit.
I can see narrowing the carb body on a lathe for sure. Not sure how close I could get though.
