Todd,

Basically, you want to have the switch open when the throttle is closed, but
opening instantaneously as the throttle is opened.

If the throttle and switch are in good condition, I'd say to the smaller end
of the range, but you may find that with a lot of miles, the throttle closes
at a slightly different position each time it is closed, not to mention that
the switch may be a bit mushy.  In that case, you should allow yourself a
bit of slop by adjusting it to the larger figure.
