That is not your lsn. That sets your idle. Your lsn should be in the end of the part that you pulled to open the carb barrel. Keep looking in your manuel, there should be a part about the lsn setting. What engine are we talking about anyway?

thats strange cause it definatly is talking about the needle that adjusts the mixture at idle, but why would you have to hold the carb all the way open? plus 5 turns out? that seems very rich to me...

5 turns is way to much. Mine wouldn't even start at that setting. 3 turns will get you very close.
