How do I make carb run richer?

I've been having hesitation problems with my ragtop with new engine, carb, etc. The carb is a 34 Pict with a push/pull diz, timing set at 5 ATDC at idle. I adjusted the choke today, a little too much it turns out. The choke didn't go off, but the car ran great with no hesitation. This leads me to conclude I am running too lean, so which way do It turn the mixture screw in order to make it run richer? Is it in or out??

Screwing with the idle circuit isn't going to do the trick. You might have an intake manifold leak, and/or maybe your accel pump isn't set right.

Hi.Out(CCW)richens.But adjust the choke to off with a warm engine or you will only be chasing a ghost.Steve
