Almost,
I think that the mode 9 adjustment is affected by the amount of the = left or=20 right of center, but is still incremental. i.e. 1 o=E2=80=99clock is = smaller than 3,=20

Ok, let me see if I = have this=20 correct, or at least can explain my understanding. mode 1- you move the = program=20 knob it all the way clockwise, push the program button,  and you = can get a=20 full rich mixture. Move it all the way counter-clockwise, push the = program=20 button and you get it all the way lean.
 
Mode 9- move the program knob in the desired direction, push the = program=20 button, and you get an incremental change in the direction of the = program knob=20 movement, regardless of amount of knob movement, just the direction, ie, = lean or=20 rich. It would only move the value a couple of digits on the programing = screen=20 leaner or richer, depending on the direction of know movement. Or = alternatively,=20 move the know to 9 oclock and push the program button to get a small = increment=20 of leaning, or 3 oclock for richer. The amount of adjustment would be = dependant=20 on number of program button pushes.
 
Is that about the gist of it?

Mode 1 adjusts the mixture in a =E2=80=98bigger=E2=80=99 step. When = you put the mixture at=20 3 o=E2=80=99clock to make it run better, and then set the program knob = to 3 o=E2=80=99clock and=20 push store, it makes a correction that is supposed to take it all the = way to=20 stoichiometric.

Mode 9 is incremental adjustments. setting the program knob rich or = lean=20 and pushing the store button moves it a =E2=80=98little way =E2=80=98 in = the preferred=20 direction, need more =E2=80=93 push again. Much safer for inflight = adjustments.
