    Mixture screw, starting point

    We took off the mixture units and cleaned the internals.

    Where do I set the mixture screw as a starting point? I remember it has a really finite adjustment, but where do I set it to start?

    The car won't start, I'm sure it's way off. (Should have counted turns before removing it for the cleaning.. oh well)

    Thanks

    Good way to baseline it is to pull an injector and find the screw position where the injector just starts to crack open and release fuel.
