two and half turns (so it is 5half turns)
Here's a general rule of thumb: Close the fuel mixture valve, then back it out 2 1/2 turns. Then adjust it from there. It's a good starting point, and usually works for me.
Turn it all the way in and then back out 1 1/2 turns
On the left side of the carb there are two screws, a recessed brass screw with slotted head (mixture adjustment screw) & a silver-colored screw with a Phillips head (idle adjustment screw). To properly tune the carb (assuming the carburetor body, jets, and bowl are clean & there are no air leaks) turn the idle screw (silver) clockwise to raise the idle...raise the idle quite a bit. Then, with the engine idling fast, turn the mixture adjustment screw (brass) in several turns (keep a count) and out several turns (again, it helps to keep track of how many turns) and listen for the moment when the engine runs the fastest. Now, with the mixture adjustment screw (brass) near the spot where the engine runs the fastest, turn it 1/2 turn either direction and listen for the spot where the engine seems to run the best, set your mixture adjustment screw (brass) to that spot. Then drop your idle back to normal by turning the idle screw (silver) counter-clockwise. Your carb is now tuned (simple...raise the idle, adjust the mixture for fastest/smoothest rpm, then lower your idle...done).

Carb. idle screws are set so thew vehicle idles they are not set at a specific number of turns. With the screw turned out but still in the carb start the vehicle. Let it warm up then turn the screw in until the engine will just idle. There are other adjustments that may assist are to the pilot fuel/air screw. This should be screwed all the way in until it lightly bottoms then turned out 2 turns to start. Once the bike is idling per above turning this screw until it idles at the highest point. This should be between 2 and 3 turns out. Readjust the idle screw to the lower idle if needed and you will be ready to go.
The initial setting for the mixture screws is 1 1/2 turns out. Connect a vacuum gauge and turn them until you get the highest reading and make sure they are both set the same. This will give you the best fuel economy.
The pointed end of the idle speed screw should be centered on the idle arm on the carburetor. http://store.chainsawr.com/
A fuel is a complex mixture of many components; no chemical symbol.For methane gas the chemical formula is CH4.
Start with 1and1/2 turns out on both high and low
The optimal setting for a pilot screw on almost any bike is one and one half full turns out from the closed position.
If it is a 50 to 1 mixture it would be 2.6 ounces per gallon
