I have a small Lyon incubator with an egg turner. It doesn't seem like it rotates the eggs enough. (meaning amount of rotation). It definitely doesn't turn them 180 degrees. It seems like they just kind of roll a little back in forth over time. Is this adequate?
 
I dont know the answer to that sorry ,

Turners don't really go 180- think of it as just the chick leaning from one side to the other.
 
Sounds like you are talking about a Turn-X? The amount of turning is adjustable up to a point. If it is already at the maximum, that's all you get. Here's a link to the TX6 instructions.

On page 4 it shows the turner set up. Although some of the print is unreadable the principal is that the closer the wire turning link is to the end of the black plastic turning arm the more of a turn your eggs will get. In order to change the setting you will need to plug the turner in and hold the red button until the black arm is pointing up. Then you can remove the turning wire and reposition it nearer the end.
