Do you mean where to start at when tuning???    1 or 1.5 out should be good to start with.

EDIT: I saw the "carbtune" and thought "but we only have one carb...."

  I used to have one of those years ago I don't know what  i did with it. It shows the color of the combustion and has a chart to show you what is right.

Anyone who's used a bunsen knows what is right.

But still, darn kids and their toys.  What's wrong with throttle chops?
