doesn't make any difference if the cap is unscrewed. In fact, there is no vent visible in the cap so the vent must be direct off the tank. (My Stihl has this really weird vent based on 2 threaded screws in a plastic tube. What's with that odd design?)
cleaned the fuel pick up filter, no...
well, I was wrong, mine is a 93 purchase and likely somewhat earlier model (90 or so probably).
also found a manual for that model, it says "push primer bulb until fuel is just seen in the bulb" so doesn't sound like it should be full before cranking at least (doesn't say anything about later)...
