I have a Dolmar 6100 and it has the special screws. If I remember correctly, it's the double d screwdriver. I like the special screws better as long as you have the tool for it. It's a whole lot easier to stay on them than regular slotted screws.

I guess I could order the posted kit and try it. Looks like a lot of parts to lose compared to a regular screwdriver. You guys are raining on my parade.
No way to get the caps off or the same carb with regular screws available?
I don't think they are removable caps. They are the actual needle screw heads. I ordered mine on eBay individually. I got the double d, the splined one for poulans and the hex one for Stihl. I have no idea about a new carb to replace it.

If it’s a one tool deal I’d be ok with that. That kit makes it look like a combination of several pieces.
It's just a kit with any carb screwdriver you would ever need plus some you will never need.

Thanks, I’ll give it a try.
My Dolmar 5105 takes the Double D driver.

They are different driver types. Only need one of them for that saw. Mine rides in my weaver rig.

Float stuck is my first guess but if the saw runs ok after you do your “dump fuel out the spark plug hole” thing.....than its not your float.

You have a bad carb with a needle/seat issue. You need to pressure test the fuel inlet to the carb. It should hold 7-10 psi indefinitely. The pressure from the tank is passing gas into the saw past the needle.
If I use it every two or three days it’s not an issue. Longer than that , hydraulic lock. I guess I’ll try a new needle and seat. I’ve got lots of cutting to do this winter. I want all the bugs out. Hard starts in the summer. I figured screw settings on that.
The 5105's are known to have tank vent issues. They let air in just fine but dont like to vent out pressure. Mine would flood so easily but it never seemed to be as bad as what you are describing with yours. My brothers would act the exact way mine did. We removed the little duck bill tank vent and nipped a corner off and it totally fixed our issue.
