Husqvarna 357XP - carburetor screws into....?

[jpilk99]

I believe I figured out why my Husqy 357XP is not running well; it's because the carburetor bolts are trying to anchor/thread into something that is stripped. I believe the 2 allen bolts screw into an "Intake" (where the red arrow is pointing to in the attached) but that is my question: What do the 2 allen bolts thread into on my saw - cause I am 99% sure I need a new one?

Thank you.

That is correct- they do screw into the piece you have indicated.
Photos are of a 2159- but exact same- you should be able to see the last threads poking through just before the rubber manifold.
