I cannot find a mark on the carb control cam to line up with the cam follower on the carb. It looks to me as if the the speed control lever set in the start position should have the cam follower hitting the control cam? Without the mark its just a guess but its all I have. I even buffed the brass control arm with polish thinking it would show a mark but nothing. Thanks for any help, Jim

Look at the bottom side of the tank support, where the speed control slides back and forth. To the left of center, you will see a slight indentation. That is the mark you were expecting to find on the cam, and where the carb just starts to open.

Thanks F_R! Got it and carb is set for now(In a barrel). Purrs like a kitten so all is good. Fun to bring the old motors back to life. Also went with the 16:1 mix. Again, Thanks
