Ian, 2.5 turns is 360 degrees two and a half times. This is just a start point and each choke will need adjusting for the best mixture.
Even though mine spits and in theory is running lean, a friend and myself have a theory that it is actually too rich but there is insufficient air speed to keep all the mixture in suspension and the dropped fuel weakens the mixture. I am going to try a slightly leaner idle jet with more air corrector holes. What idle jets do you have in and what size choke are you on? I have a copy of a jetting program I can mail you off list if it would help.
