Default RE: is my engine broke in?

I would run about a half a tank more, then set the needles on the rich side but with a good transition. Put it on the plane (if not already). Check the needle settings, set the high speed on the rich side (about 500 to 600 RPM below peak) and go fly. It won't be truely broke in till you run 1/2 to a gallon of fuel in it. You will notice the engine getting stronger with each run till it is.
