No, pilot jet should be snug. Are you sure he didnt mean 3.5 turns out on the the fuel screw? (which many people call a pilot screw)

Only a two stroke has an air screw. So it can't be that.

Probably. People call the fuel screw a pilot screw too.

Here is an article that explains it. -->>ThumperFaq: MXA Thumper's Fuel Screw

Nothing good can come from leaving the jets loose. They should absolutely be tight and snug inside there. The right size jet, correct clip position on the needle, and proper fuel screw adjustment and you should be golden.

The fuel screw is a minor fine tuning adjustment.
