Default DA needle settings

I am in Virginia and I run Ammsoil 100:1, can anyone tell me about where both of my needles should be? I have two da 100's and both run well, but the are not set anywhere near one another. I know they should be about 2 turn out for break in, but these are already broken in. One was 1/2 turn out for the idle and the other was 1 1/2. Any help would be appreciated.

The factory as you know gives you initial settings, then you idle them in from there.
I have a DA 50R and my low end needle is about what you said yours is. I don't remember what the high needle setting is but what you said yours is sounds about right.
I was surprised at my settings too.

The correct needle settings are the ones you determine that your engine runs correctly at. There are no other correct settings.
