Engine Starting

Now for something totally different ! How do you start a 1960 VW 1200 cc Beetle engine without impulse mags. as fitted to my Druine Turbulent ? and pls.don't say 'with difficulty' - I know that ! Squirting neat Avgas down the carb throat and pulling 8 blades sometimes works. I always achieve a start, but never really know what combination of choke and throttle worked that time. Thanks.
