What counts as 1 screw turn? Might be the most stupid question this year

[Wes51st]

I'm almost scared to ask, but I'm trying to double check everything I've adjusted to get my bike running.

When setting carb screws by "one turn", does that mean a full 360 rotation of the screw or just 180 degrees?

Promise this question isn't an early April fools joke, I'm just a crap mechanic.

360..... and don't worry, lots of us have wondered the same thing at one time or another

[dorkburger]

Yep, 360?. On a flathead screwdriver I usually go by the blade position and count by halves. 1/2 turn, 1, 1-1/2, etc.

Yep, one more confirmation that "one turn" is a full 360 degrees.

And another .......
Doesn't help that we use phrases like turn around which is different to a twirl or do a 180.
Perhaps one revolution would be better.

[Steve]

Perhaps one revolution would be better.

Possibly, but a "revolution" just sounds so ... violent.

Don't you think 'Off with their heads' is appropriate for seized screws.

Thanks for cutting off my head with that one. Good I was working on the 360 thinking.

To everything, turn turn turn...

To everything, turn turn turn...

In the right season of course.

The X-box does have it on the numbers..

When i seat a screw I take the flat tip and make a witness mark inline with the slot. This gives me my 360 rotation of the screws ( 1 FULL turn as it were ).
