Right. What I mean is that I turned counterclockwise until I couldn't turn anymore and the same going clockwise.

Ok, just to be triple sure, counterclockwise is LEAN, correct?

I will try your suggestion out marlinspike!

Thanks you guys! Keep 'em coming!

Yep, counterclockwise is lean. There's probably no point in going all the way lean, just a waste of your time, I guess start off one full 360 rotation towards the rich side from max lean.

Sounds good.... How 'sensitive' is the adjustment? Are we talking about 1/16th of a turn can mean the diffrence in a running / non-running engine or would taking it in 360 turns be ok?
