    The Dolmars use Double D or Single D, depending on the model.
    The kit farmer steve mentioned above should have both.

    I saw a hack for adjusting them screws.

    Electrical Insulated Butt Splicers. They come in different sizes. Just shove them over the adjustment screw.
    Your picture looks like the screws on a Poulan and it worked on mine.

    That's a great hack...and just for people not familiar, the color denotes the size...but different brands will be a little different on the inside diameter, even in the same size (or color)

    When you get them out with the butt splice, slot cut the ends with your Dremel & a cutoff wheel, then screw buying that Chinese tool.
