How do you count turns on pilot screw? Is it one complete circle or half circle that makes one count? Thanks guys!!

 

1 mechanical turn is the maximum position your wrist will move, so 1 turn=1/2 turn

 

So that's one turn of the wrist makes 1/2 mech turn? Sorry I'm confused .

 

your wrist can only do a max of 180 degrees, so thats listed as a turn

 

Thanks for clearing that up !

 

are you sure that 1 turn (360 degrees) is not simply equal to 1 turn? that 180 buisness sounds questionable to me

 

I heard that too. But from a carpenter, might be different on mechanics. I've been doing half turn cause one 360 • 2 is pretty far out.

 

They mean 1 full 360 degree turn.Doesnt matter what discipline you are working in a turn is a turn.If they wanted a half they would say a half turn.I think (I may be wrong) the manual calls for 1.5 turns = 540 degrees.My sons bike with K&N and slip on idles and runs fine at 2 turns out.Any bike from early 80's and on has fuel screws set lean anyway from factory for E.P.A.

 

On that 2 turns out , it was two full 360 turns ?

 

Yes 720 degrees.I can understand wanting to be sure as these carbs in particular are a pain to get off but you will be fine at 2 turns.
