FYI, they aren't really "baseline settings" those are starting points to tune from, just setting the carb there could be to lean or too rich, but sldomely is it "right" it's supposed to be to rich at that point allowing you to lean it out slowly for good performance, that's why on more modded engiens you will hear to start with the needles more open (say starting at 2 out on the "H" and 1.5 on the "L" on a modded engine, vs. the 1.5"H" and 1.5 "L" on a stocker)

Until learning to tune and then making notes of your tunes based on weather conditions and engine combo and carb setup at that time you have no baseline... Now once you've tuned an engine for "X" conditions with "X" mods and write the carb settings down, and then when you're taking that same engine back into the same enviroment you have your notes from the last tune, that is a baseline setting.

all needle positions you here on forums or in instructions should NOT be considered a "tune" it's jsut a place to start tuning from, even with 2 exact engines and carbs, the needles will be different for each engine when properly tuned because no 2 will flow air and fuel exactly the same as any other engines

He asked for "BASE" settings ,they are base settings! That in my opinion is a "starting point" It would be highly unlikely that they were the correct settings. After that ,then you have to start tuning.As you said every engine is different . But that is the initial start/base point to get the engine running.

yea just base settings will do,, when i first run it was way to rich but left it that way for 2 tanks for running it in. the sq base settings are meant to be totally wrong for any conditions.
