I have a question about xs360 carbs.

I am wondering what the stock settings on the air/fuel screws (WITH the plastic stops still on them) are in comparison to when people say "1 turn out, 2 turns out, etc.". This is the first set I've had that still have the plastic stops on them for adjusting. The last set I had just had the screws and I tuned them by the 1 turn out, 2 turns out from lightly seated method.

So for example is 1.5 turns out equal to all the way to the left with the caps on?

Trying to get an idea of where I am with it without just taking the plastic stop caps off of the screws.

Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure stock setting is 1-1.5 turns out with the caps still in place. Once you remove them, you can set them at any position and still allow a 1/2 turn of adjustment.
 
You need to remove the caps to set them. After you can put them back on. Those where meant to keep people from messing with factory settings and only make minor adjustments as needed.
