IS one turn too lean for 1986 merc 60 hp motor?

started at 1 1/2 turns out and worked it down to 1. Seems to run best there. Any richer than that gets me a rough idle. Only problem is hard starting during restarts only, and my concern that I may be running an old engine lean. Does not stall when throttled up quickly. Has anyone run their motors with a similar setting?
