One of the things you were told to do to start the saw when it was warmed up was to hit the primer bulb six times. Now who would hit the primer bulb six times to start a warm saw? To make a long story short I knuckled under and followed the starting procedure outlined for the saw and it seems to work. You set the saw in choke, then hit the primmer six times, then push the choke lever down one notch which keeps it in high idle position and that does seam to work. Crazy huh??? Anyway, I have a question. Before I started to follow the starting procedure I was getting the idea that maybe I should tinker with the carb screw settings. Surprise, there are no screw driver slots in the screws. They look like maybe a very fine torx head type of screw. You would need a socket to fit down over the top of the screws to engage the torx arrangement to be able to turn the screws. Since I have been able to start the saw using the odd way you are told to in the instructions I don't need this tool right now. But I might in the future. Does anyone know where I can buy this tool?

It doesn't matter that you also have to slot the aluminum guard around the screws. I have gotten equipment in that had this done to it so I am not the first to think of it. The EPA go fly a kite.
