Listers, I know this was discussed very recently – but I haven’t been able to find the info I want in the archives. Finger trouble no doubt. I find that my Superior O-360 doesn’t respond immediately to a very small increase in throttle on approach. It has been suggested by those who know more about this that I do, that the mixture is slightly “weak” at idle power. Which way should I turn the adjuster to make it run a little richer – anticlockwise or clockwise?
Thanks guys

Shirley,
If the throttle cable is too long, you will have quite a bit of "lost motion" in it, this is caused by the wire moving sideways in the sheath where the cable bends. My first cable was about 6" too long and had this exact problem. I cured it by using the correct length cable. It needs to be as straight and direct as possible.

Shirley,
Use an inspection mirror to look at the head of the mixture adjustment screw. It’ll have little arrows and markings of R and L for rich and lean.

Turn the screw clockwise to lean out the mixture, counterclockwise to enrich the mixture.
