At 15 Tanks your broken in. Hopefully it's still hard to turn over. Meaning with your hand trying to turn it over by the flywheel is difficult to impossible. A RB reaches it true break in after a gallon. This coincides with there long life characteristics. A RB #6 which is a med plug. Is a good all around plug for that engine. Keep temps between 220-250 and your good. Some run them hotter I wouldn't. 220-250 makes plenty of power.
