Default TT .46 install

First plane/first engine. I'm using a Hi-tech Flash 5 radio & TT Pro .46 and trying to get the engine kill button adjusted right.
With the throttle stick all the way down making the carb fully closed I can't see the point of an engine kill button. If I open the carb 1/8 or so and adjust the linkage so it stays open when my stick is all the way down then hit the engine kill it closes the carb fully thus killing the engine.
I have never started or ran an engine before. My question is should I set it up so it's fully closed when the stick is down and fully open when up, or should it not be fully closed when down so I have some kind of idle when the stick is all the way down?
Is it OK to rotate the carb to get my adjustment or should the carb be set parallel to the engine?

Thanks for the help - Chris.
