how much is one turn for mixture screw?

[robgusto]

In regards to the fuel mixture screw is a turn a complete 360 rotation or is 180 a turn? Yes I'm beginner at all of this!!!

360 degrees

Easiest way is to count "twists" from seated. 5 twists is 2.5 turns.

Hope that helps.

No need to confuse the issue here. I helped a guy a few years ago who insisted that he had the screws out THREE TURNS. I decided to check them, just to be sure. Yeah, he had them out three "twists".

Nobody has ever specified the number of "twists", just "turns", so please stick to full 360-degree turns.

Count them by halves, if you want: "Half turn, one turn, one and a half turns, two turns, etc., but keep the terminology consistent.

Sorry, I grew up in the era of Chubby Checker and his dance innovation the "Twist" ( excellent exercise by the way). As I count in half turns, the motion of my wrist made me think of twisting....go figure. I guess It might have been less confusing to say 5 half turns perhaps.

Personally, I find it more accurate to count it out in half turns. Can't exactly say why, just the way my mind works I guess. Anyway I'll keep my twists to myself from now on.
