Last year I had a sts breakin sheet that said 4 turns out on the high needle, 4 turns out on the low and mid range to be flush with carb body.
I started breaking in my D5 last night and started with this. I turned it out a tad more on the high and low(8th of a turn) to get a little fuel to spit from the pipe to make sure I was rich enough.
Also try preheating your engine to make to piston not stick so much.
Good luck.
