You will have difficulty keeping the RPMs low enough for break-in without an RC Carb. If you can find an RC carb it will ease break-in.
45 minutes to an hour. And yes, Saitos must be broken in, they aren't a YS.
I checked the parts list and my 56 RC carb does not fit a 72. However, if I'm wrong, PM me and I'll send it to you for break-in.
You can choke it down by modifying the C/L carb per the expert-Bob Reeves.
Another option is to use a small piece of angle Alum cut to fit the width of the backplate. Drill thru 2 holes to match the bottom 2 screws on the backplate. Drill and tap the other side of the angle for a nylon screw like a 1/4-28 so the screw goes into the carb opening. This will choke it down and slow it up some. You probably have to start with it real close to the spray bar spigot.
If you try and run it with the stock C/L carb, open the needle to slow it down. Keep the plug lighter on to keep it running.
You don't need the lock nut unless you plan to stand in front of the plane while its running.
Good Luck
