Actually, unless it is a different carburetor than I have seen (and I have a gaggle of DLE engines, but NONE of them purchased in the last 3-4 months) turning the needle clockwise, whether the HSN or the LSN, results in a LEANER setting on that needle...so clockwise=more closed=more lean
As to the rest of your comment, I'm not sure what they are supposed to do, but when starting any of my gas engines, with the choke closed, it is not unusual at all for them to try to start (pop through more than one "bark", but generally not actually "start") , which is when I open the choke and flip the engine through several more times and usually the engine will start from there. I am certainly no expert on gas engines (I've called JediJody a number of times for help!
), but this is what I have seen from my observations.
Have a Blessed Day!
