The situation with the 5100 that I had problems with about a month ago finally have been resolved. Dolmar has agreed to cover the saw under warranty(it was just about a year OUT of warranty)! I am pretty happy to say the least and going to learn how to tune on it when she returns home.
After getting the run around from the Dolmar dealer in Culpepper VA that originally sold the saw to me(no longer a Dolmar dealer) I called into the distributor. They put me in touch with Cutting Edge in Winchester, who seem to really have a handle on the 5100 issues. Either way I am happy this has ended. They also mentioned re-routing some wires so the saw cools better while he has the saw down. They never did come out and say exactly why the saw seized, but they did test the gas and it only came back at 5% eth.
Thanks to everyone that gave some good advice on the issue!
