You normal adjust nose weight to help corner entry. Lower nose=tighter rear, higher nose = looser entry (corner entry)

I find that center of the corner off can be a good indicator. if it doesn't want to rotate thru the corners and it pushes you don't have enough

I set the nose to a solid baseline and nearly never adjust it. I tune with other adjustments.

Too much nose can also cause a push if the front end isn't set up to turn well. It depends on the design of the front end. On some karts if it makes it loose, it is not the usual loose. It will feel like steering doesn't help a whole lot. Nose weight is too picky to adjust imo.
