Default cv carb float adjustment

I just aquired a '94 cv carb and am rebuilding it. Does anyone know the correct float level & how to adjust it. There is an arrow at the support for the pin that holds the needle valve in-is this the direction the pin comes out or the direction it is put in after it has been removed. I understand it only goes in one way. Thanks for any help.
