I realize I had to take READING COMPREHENSION and NOT MOVING LIPS 101 in the 3rd Grade twice. Am I reading that text correct or am I hallucinating?

Turning out leans the idle mixture doesn't? Am I that far gone?

I guess that qualifies as a miss print. The the only carb I know of that was like that were some emissions era Holley 4160's and 2300's. The mixture screws adjusted air into the fuel. The opposite of normal.

But I still don't understand. If it is on the net it has to be true ... :confused:
