On a 400EX I belive it is a fuel screw so it is rich out and lean in. The best way to tell is if the screw is on the engine side of the slide it is a fuel screw and if it is on the filter side of the slide it is an air screw. So fuel screw is rich out lean in and an air screw is rick in and lean out.

I thought fuel screws were used on 4 strokes and air screws were on 2 strokes?

Genreally that is the case but what I said is an easier way to tell for sure.
