First tank or two I think you let it idle only, then you drive it around using very little throttle, then more, then more, more on each tank or so, but depends on engine and should use MFG's specs.

My thunder tiger 21 says let it idle for 4 tanks and keep it rich then do 3 high speed tanks leaning it a little each time, then it will be done
