Define a turn please

Hi guys, might have a fiddle with my carb pilot screws to see if I can get her starting better.

The Haynes manual suggests starting from 2.5 turns out, but what is a turn?

Is it a full 360 degrees?

Cheers guys

A "turn" is a full turn, 360 degrees. I like to count in 1/2 turns, seems easier to do and adjust. 2.5 turns is 7 half turns.

Am i nuts or would 2.5 full turns be 5 half turns?

Thanks for the answers guys

Demon I think half turns would be easier too.

Oh and Tim, thanks for the maths lesson. Next week we'll be doing quadratic equations

Just be careful to seat the mains gently, before counting the turns out.
They don't respond well to gorilla tactics.

I agree with the five 1/2 turns, it's less ackward way to turn a screwdriver for me.

Good luck, Ern
