Cold start procedure for motors that like the catch the carb on fire:

Mash gas pedal to floor once, release.
Then crank it without touching the gas pedal until fire off.

In a fit of 16 year old genius, I looked down through the carb while cranking it to see if fuel was flowing, and it was. Flowing straight up in a vapor cloud, around my head, on fire.
