Yeah got that adjusted, I do it a similar way but usually start at 1.5 turns up then go down towards 1 turn if you need to lean it out slightly.
The trick is to really feel when the metering rod tree just starts to move up from the bottom, then count your 1-1.5 turns from there. Of course you already know all this! :)
Funny thing is, the carb was clean visually. I think I must’ve got some bad fuel. (Ethanol?) Never seen that green ooze before.
