I would not waste time pulling springs for that little of pressure. The important things is to get the engine fired immediately. You do not want to have to crank on it for a while to get fuel or play around with the timing. Static time it before hand, and fill the carb with fuel so the engine will fire right away. That's where lobes go flat. It's when people crank it over for a minute or two, trying to get it to fire.

Fire up right away, and take it to 2500 rpm, and don't let it idle for the first 25 minutes. If it gets hot, shut it down, let it cool off, and then repeat until you have 25 minutes of fast idle on it, then you should be good to go.
