[DMCForum] Re: My first tune up

["Joe OBrien" <joeyoseppijoe@xxxxxxxxx>]

1/4 of a turn sounds like way to much. When you reached the surgin at
idle, you should have turned it just 1 click richer.

Basically find a happy medium between 1/4 and where you started from.
It is surprisingly sensitive.

Best of luck.
