Lean means the engine isn't getting enough fuel. Tyically when reffering to gasoline engines, a good clean burn is an airfuel mix of about 14.7:1. A number higher than that means the airfuel mixture is lean (has more air). A number lower means the mixture is rich (more fuel). Most engines run rich around 13 to 12... rarely leaning out more than 14.7... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
