How far out depends on the year of the unit, and what modifications, if any were done to the engine, and to the caburetor?
The 1979 and later units used fine pitch threads, so each turn moves the mixture screws less distance than pre-79 models. The holes under the mixtures were also smaller on later units, and the tips of the needles had long tapers.
Basically, we recomend apprx 3.5 turns out from seated for all units, then fine tune after the carb is placed in service for best idle quality at the leanest setting(s). Some 1979 and newer units with small holes under the mixtures screw will need to be closer to 4.5 turns out from seated for initial run-in......Cliff
