Yes, you start off at 1-1.5mm on a new engine for break in (white realy rich settings). Then each tank you lean the needles a hair which will elevate the idle and then you reduce the air gap to compensate. So at the end you should end up around 0.5mm on the air gap and with your LS set at whatever the appropriate setting is to give you the correct idle. Hope this helps!
