I am still no clearer on the pumping of the throttle business. Clearly, opinion is divided. That said, the guidance in the 150 pilot's guide states:

'Pumping the throttle, especially during starting, should be avoided as the accelerator pump in the carburettor can cause a fuel pool in the intake, leading to a fire risk.'
