Keyster boot rotted? I thought they were neoprene or something like that...GA Architect got mine fixed proper. The Keyster boot from the rebuild kit rotted before I ever got the carb installed on the manifold. The one from Toyota worked, and still is working.
Maybe there is a trick or two to get it started? How are your spark plugs looking these days? Black and shiny, powdery black, or just tan on the white insulator?
My carb runs lean in winter cold (contrary to an expert), and I prevent a high-altitude hiccup by capping the vacuum barb on the power valve. Running headers.
