no, he's talking about the idle mixture adjustment pot. (varistor) Yep, that screw controls idle a/f mixture and runing it that lean would be stupid. Get it on a dyno and set it to stoich. Any richer and you'll potentially bog the motor while idling or foul plugs. You'll need a piggy back system to mess with your fuel maps or a stand alone aftermarket computer.

i was the one that brought this is with DC350.. i have it turned to L i have had to both ways.. i get about 380km per tank full R and 470 km full L.. at full L it seems smoother at idel and though the powerband and at full R seems ruffer at idel cuz its richer where it doesnt need to be and slower thoughout the rpm band..

And now an answer from someone who knows what they're talking about:
That screw is the idle mixture screw. It only effects the mixture at idle. Don't touch it unless you have to. More than likely, the rich condition at idle is caused by another problem (bad ACV, leaky injectors, etc) and messing with the screw will only cause you problems.

why would you run it differently? I mean i don't think there wold be any increase in power by running richer or leaner on an na, but i could be wrong.
