I was always taught to put carb heat to cold before opening the throttle. My instructors said there had been cases of engines cutting out if throttled up quickly with carb heat on. Don't know if that is true but that is what I was taught.

The other solution, if throttle is next to carb heat, is as you open the throttle push the carb heat in with one of your fingers.
