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.

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.
