Half turn to the left? [:-] That sounds VERY lean to me.
Tighten all the way in and give it 2 full turns out, then start, place the throttle in the middle, if it sputters and dies tighten haft turn and try again.
Keep tightening 2-3 clicks at a time untill the engine does not sputter on half throttle, then apply full throttle and tighten SLOWLY untill peak RPM.
Once you got the max RPM un-tighten it 3 clicks.
That should be a somewhat safe setting
