    Mixture Screws 1988 Force Outboard 85hp

    I have one quick question. When they say "one turn" from lightly seated on the mixture screw, does "one turn" mean a full 360? i.e. one full revolution from the starting point? When I do that the screw comes almost all the way out and it doesn't idle. Does one turn maybe mean 180?
