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.
