Carb Needle Adjustment

You are looking down the throat of my primary carb on a 140 hp corvair. In the bottom right hand corner of the pic, there is a brass needle valve with a slot in the top of the head for a screwdriver, and a spring beneath it. Does anyone know the proper adjustment of this needle valve?
Thank you

I have attached a picture showing the upper end of the linkage missing the clip. Any help is appreciated... ...
