Nikki Mixture screw, which way is lean?

I think if I turn it clockwise I am leaning the mixture, but wanted to double check on here. The FSM doesn't really say which way is which. At least, not that I could find.

Thanks, Scott

You are correct. Keep in mind that this only adjusts the mixture at idle, and will have no effect while driving.

Good info: http://sterlingmetalworks.com/tuning_the_nikki.htm


P.S. I think I might have sold your car for you. Neighbor kid (very responsible 19 y/o) fell in love with my car a few years back, and now he's ready to make a purchase. Should know for sure in a few days.

Thanks Ken! I thought I had it right, wanted to make sure I wasn't making it too lean. And that's great about the car! My wife would be happy, I would be a little sad. Especially on a nice day like today. But if it is going to a good home, then that is what it is all about. I'll pm my cell number if you guys have any questions.
