Not all the caps have the little "duck bill" he's mentioned. It is just a check valve, some caps use a little rubber check valve that looks like a bird's beak, and some just use sintered bronze. Either way, it's only job is to let air into the tank but keep fuel from sloshing out it when the saw is being jerked around. Working or not, it does not have the ability to make the saw flood. It can, if completely stuck, make the saw run lean because if air cannot get into tank, fuel can't get out to run the saw. If the gas cap vent was suspected as being a problem, all you have to do is loosen the cap (thus it is vented) and then try the saw.
