Oh *****! Now that you are absolutely screwed up, you should be definitely lean. I should have said that one turn is a massive, huge, correction. Five degrees of rotation might correct a stalling condition. 360 degrees is huge. Ten times 360 is the moon.

I imagine the car doesn't run period now. Now you need to get a long stick and from a distance push the plate way down. You need to push it down till it runs. If it don't you need to quit all this and find out why you have no fuel. The point of the long stick is that you could easily have a back fire with mixture way off. You don't want your face down in there.

The fact you have turned it so far really doesn't hurt anything, but it absolutely should assure that you are lean. The point being that if there are no other problems (such as an inoperative fuel pump or an ignition that coincidentally took a dump while you worked on the fuel) then pushing down the airflap some amount will get you the right amount of fuel. same instructions follow.

You probably should eventually take it back ten turns if you are sure, but because the actually point is so sensitive you would do well to try what I have stated.

If done properly your massively misadjusted system will operate at some amount of depression (maybe an inch or two, maybe just a little press it down with your face away while some one cranks the engine. When I do this I keep a small throttle opening with one hand and depress the plate with the otherplaying each to achieve a good running motor. I let off the throttle while correcting the depression of the airplate with the other hand PLAY IT. Once I gain control I then start moving the 3mm with the free hand using the relationship we discussed before.

Remember the point is that if you have indeed turned the mixture screw 10 turns counterclockwise then you ARE lean. If you can't make it run by depressing the plate you have a different problem.
