Carb needle

I'm still trying to get my C77 Dream running. Many issues but tackling them one at a time. Currentlly finishing up on the carb and knowing somebody else was messing with it I would like some opinion on where I should have the needle at in the clip. Right now it is on the last notch on the needle (at the end of the needle). Please bear in mind that it probably wasn't there when I got the bike and I've been having major issues getting it running or running properly. I would like to have it in the optimum spot efore I put it back together. Thanks, Jeff.

Start with the needle in the middle position and adjust from there later if necessary.
Slow jet #35
Main jet #120

The needle should have 22401 or D3 stamped in it near the top.

OK. So I went to adjust my needle and this is what I found.

Is my needle broken as there are only two notches to choose from? Jeff H.
