If the engine is at the factory needle settings,it is most likely rich.You can either lean the low speed needle or raise the idle to keep it running while you finish breaking it in.

Think of the head of the screw as a clock face. If it is up and down, its at the 12 O'clock position ( or 6 if you are a glass is half empty guy). and move it to the 1 O'clock position. that would be 1 hour lean. If you moved it to the 11O'clock position, you richened it 1 hour. Hope this explains it.
