    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

In regards to the fuel mixture screw is a turn a complete 360 rotation or is 180 a turn? Yes I'm beginner at all of this!!!
 
Easiest way is to count "twists" from seated. 5 twists is 2.5 turns.

Hope that helps.

No need to confuse the issue here. I helped a guy a few years ago who insisted that he had the screws out THREE TURNS. I decided to check them, just to be sure. Yeah, he had them out three "twists".

Nobody has ever specified the number of "twists", just "turns", so please stick to full 360-degree turns. :o

Count them by halves, if you want: "Half turn, one turn, one and a half turns, two turns, etc., but keep the terminology consistent.

Sorry, I grew up in the era of Chubby Checker and his dance innovation the "Twist" ( excellent exercise by the way). As I count in half turns, the motion of my wrist made me think of twisting....go figure. I guess It might have been less confusing to say 5 half turns perhaps.

Personally, I find it more accurate to count it out in half turns. Can't exactly say why, just the way my mind works I guess. Anyway I'll keep my twists to myself from now on.

Cheers,
