About 100 years ago...well, was probably about 30 years ago, seems like 100.  
Anyway, I was taught by a very skilled BMC mechanic to set the misture to the 
point where lifting the liston with the lifting pin should result in a slight 
rise in RPM followed by a drop when the mixture was properly set...if the 
idle increased and stayed, too rich.  If the idle dropped off, too lean.  
Always 
worked for me but it has been a while since I have tuned any SU carbs...Juast 
my 2 cents.
