Refers to the number of degrees in a circle (or parts of a circle).
One full turn is 360°.
One-half turn is 180°.

Checking to see if you figured out your problem?

I have a 550A1 with pods anda 4-1 exhaust. My main jets are 95 with the needle clip in the 3rd slot. The mixture screw around 2 1/2 turns out. Seems to work good for me.

When measuring the coil resistance don't forget to allow for the resistance in your multimeter leads, regards Neil
