One and a half turns from closed is about where I would expect it to be after tuning but you need to open a full two turns for the initial start of the day and after starting the the needle is adjusted in to find peak and only then backed off a few hundred. This can be done by ear or a tach or the method I use called pinch tuning that is very easy but not the same a using a tack or just by ear.
