Chris,
 
Be sure to do it outdoors and have a fire extinguisher handy.  The EFI can dump a load of fuel out the exhaust before you realize it (Right, ED?).  You can't be too careful.  Good luck.

Chris,  I have never made an adjustment to the stock 13B spark plugs in 10
years of flying - as you noticed, it would be difficult to do in any case.
If all else is in readiness, then you are ready to make a first start.

Good Luck, I hope it fires off on the first turn of the blade.
