I have read the manual for adjusting the carb and had to turn the screws clowckwise about 7 full turns before the idle speed changed. I then turned the screws counter clockwise untill they were ready to fall out with out noticing a change in the idle. I ended up setting closing them and then opening them about four turns and the engine seems to sound great but I don't really know if this is right. Does anyone know the correct amount of turns on these screws? If I am too lean could I damage the engine? Thanks in advance for the help.
