You can check with a pin in the hole and make it snug. This is normally about right, and only a turn one way or the other is correct. Airbleed carbs are kind of fickle anyway. Things will improve after a minute of running. Oh, and give it some throttle. The airbleed carbs don't normally start at idle.
Will try as written to a word and get back to you, Thanx !!
From HSUKARIA, Thanx I should have been a little more detailed on my part. I am aware of how bleed works and only mentioned 1/2 to 4 turn setting as a general statement of conditions during times I tried to start.
Once again, THANX to all.
If you don't hear from me again it just means I jumped off a bridge somewhere (sic).
