No break-in required, just set the needles.
I would take the back plate and cooling head off the engine and clean out old oil and fuel to make sure nothing is gummed up inside. I use WD-40 to dissolve old nastyness and then use a light oil to lube it up. After run oil or ATF oil works fine.

so basically take off the head and back plate and spray it with wd-40, tip the motor upside down to remove the wd40 and the gunk. Then put some after run oil in and put it back together.

Change the glow plug too, it may have a layer of gunk on it that may have erroded it a bit. Check air filter to make sure that there is enough oil there and make sure to spray carb o-rings to assure that moving them may not rip/tear them from sitting a long time.
