I have a skward 46 basically new and lost the needle valve in flight last year (good luck finding that) I bought a carb at a swap show but when I put it back together I cannot figure out which way the hole has do go from the pin across the inside of the carb. Does it face out or in?

it has to face in toward the engine, dead center, moving it slightly front or back will change the mid range mixture.
very strong engine, a bit touchy to fine tune but you hardly ever touch it again

Thanks I guess that was obvious but I wasn't sure.
