Default RE: STARTING A FA 220

I bought this one used with several flights on it. The claim was that it was broken in, basic break-in, at least, plus several flights.

It looks like it hasn't been run a lot, starts easy, and sounds good. What needle valve setting do you recomend for starting? I know that will vary with conditions such as pumped, non-pumped, fuel, etc.. I don't have a manual, just need to have a ballpark figure.

I have owned all sizes up to a 180, and have always started at 2 turns after break-in at sloppy rich. I have a 100 and a 125 now, never kicked back.
