The original poster self states he is a newbe. I'm sure he/she has no idea about the interaction between the low end and high speed needles. If he is doing this himself, then he is best to follow the manual and do as OS states it should be done. Perhaps once he has learned a bit about the proper settings of both needles, then maybe he can do what you guys are suggesting. But, I am not a newbe and still follow the directions. 30 minutes of my time to properly break in an engine doesn't seem all that terrible a waste of time.
