Just mark your start position, and turn one way, you can hear if it's getting richer or leaner.

I think anti-clockwise makes it richer...

Cheers. I tried small increments either way from where it was setup to. Anticlockwise seemed to make it stutter a little more and seem more nervous on light throttle. So I assume that was leanin the mixture out.

Id just like a wideband test to make sure it's not too rich to cause any wear or oil contamination.
