Take the carb off and you will see the little rubber mounting on the fuel tank.I mean the connection between the carburator and the fuel tank. Shake a little bit the whole saw. If there is gasoline coming out on the rubber mounting than it means that the fuel tank respirator filter is dirty and air cannot exit the fuel tank so it will get gas out at the rubber mounting because the pressure inside. To solve your problem for the moment try to push out this little filter. Take off the gas tank cap and look inside , you will see an alloy piece with a hole in the middle. Use a very thin screwdriver or something similar and push it through this hole , this way you will push out the filter on the other side. Do not use a drill bit. I did it, bad idea.

Have fun !

Flooding starting
Check fuel pressure. You may have a bad fuel pressure regulator. Pressure may be too high, or the regulator diaphragm may have failed-if it is vacuum operated, pull off the vacuum line-if any evidence of gas in the line, the regulator has failed, and letting gas get sucked into the engine through the vacuum line. That could explain the gas smell and the flooding.

Makita chainsaw DCS5000 overfueling?
As you requested Steve; but you say you have spark.
Ignition module gap
Place a business or index card between the fly wheel and coil, rotate until the magnetic attraction pulls everything tight together. Tighten the coil screws, rotate the flywheel until the attraction eases and remove the card. Ensure nothing contacts when flywheel is rotated.

Is the choke open? You have enough fuel you should not need the choke. I think she is flooded. Do you have your OM handy? Might be a good time to review to flooded procedure. Probably similar to warm start with a lot of pulling.
Start Procedure
Cold:
  1. Ignition on/off to on.
  2. Set compression release – optional step even if saw is equipped with a compression release.
  3. Pull (close) choke, set fast idle (done when choke closed on some saws); pull starter and listen for an attempt to start. once heard (usually two pulls; no more than 4).
  4. Set compression release – optional step even if saw is equipped with a compression release.
  5. Push (open) choke pull starter until it starts. (usually first pull).
Warm:
  1. Ignition on/off to on.
  2. Set compression release – optional step even if saw is equipped with a compression release.
  3. Pull (close) choke, set fast idle (done when choke closed on some saws) – Do not pull with choke closed.
  4. Push (open) choke, pull starter until it starts. (usually first pull).

Starts hard floods easily even avoiding the primer
Prime away... on a chainsaw it does NOT squirt fuel into carburetor. It draws fuel from tank, through carburetor, and returns it to tank.
Using the choke however will flood it in a second once it has fired. with a good fuel supply, 99.5 % of chainsaw won't start problems are flooded.
Your manual start procedure should be similar to this:
Start Procedure
Cold:
  1. Ignition on/off to on
  2. Set compression release – optional step even if saw is equipped with a compression release
  3. Pull (close) choke, set fast idle (done when choke closed on some saws); pull starter and listen for an attempt to start. once heard (usually two pulls; no more than 4)
  4. Set compression release – optional step even if saw is equipped with a compression release
  5. Push (open) choke pull starter until it starts. (usually first pull)
Warm:
  1. Ignition on/off to on
  2. Set compression release – optional step even if saw is equipped with a compression release
  3. Pull (close) choke, set fast idle (done when choke closed on some saws) – Do not pull with choke closed.
  4. Push (open) choke, pull starter until it starts. (usually first pull)
The real key on your Husky is to open the choke once it attempts to fire. Closing the choke sets the fast idle but leaving it closed only floods the engine once warmed up or after it attempts to start. True of Stihl too but slightly different start procedure.
If you can not find your manual you can download one here:

Enter the 3 digit model number (no XPs, Es, just the numbers)
Serial number decode – useful when downloading IPLs and Manuals

06 = year produced – 2006 (single digit before 2000)

Will not start. Has spark, gas,chain oil,on/off
If everything you say is true it is flooded. Have you tried the EXACT start procedure from the manual?
My 359 floods in a nano second if I leave the choke engaged once it attempts to start. The only other time it really gave me trouble was one time I failed to set then turn off choke when it was warm. Setting the choke also sets the fast idle. Pulling the starter with choke engaged floods it once it has fired. This should be similar to your Operator's Manual.
Start Procedure
Cold:
  1. Ignition on/off to on
  2. Set compression release – optional step even if saw is equipped with a compression release
  3. Pull (close) choke, set fast idle (done when choke closed on some saws); pull starter and listen for an attempt to start. once heard (usually two pulls; no more than 4)
  4. Set compression release – optional step even if saw is equipped with a compression release
  5. Push (open) choke pull starter until it starts. (usually first pull)
Warm:
  1. Ignition on/off to on
  2. Set compression release – optional step even if saw is equipped with a compression release
  3. Pull (close) choke, set fast idle (done when choke closed on some saws) - Don’t pull with choke closed.
  4. Push (open) choke, pull starter until it starts. (usually first pull)

No floats in chainsaw carbs. Severly flooded most common start problem with chainsaws. Read and follow the start procedure in your manual. Don't use choke on flooded engine (may set fast idle, set then turn off)!

Husky 350 chain saw will not start....smells like it is flooded from first pull....if it sits for a week....it will slightly catch on the first pull and then smells like it's flooded
Pull the spark-plug out of it, give it full throttle and pull start it to clear the excess fuel out of the cylinder, spray a little wd-40 in the plug hole and repeat, get a new plug as the old one is probably fouled, put some fresh gas in it, new plug and fire her up, 2 cycles are very fussy about plugs and a little raw fuel on them can cause you grief.

Chainsaw will not start.
Not sure if it's safe but when I was cutting timber and we weren't sure if the chainsaw was flooded, we lit a match and put it on the ground underneath the exhaust pipe then tried to pull start it. If you got a little puff of flames then it was flooded. If not, you had no gas. And don't leave your gas can sitting around close while you're attempting these brave feat. Don't let your kids watch and don't do it unless you're alone or with someone you don't like much. Get them to hold the match.

Wont start with new plug. I can smell gas, but none on plug
Check the start stop switch, sometimes they can get dirty causing the saw not to get spark. Also maybe check Your air cleaner. if it's clogged it may be flooding itself out?
