OK I'm still missing something here.
You step on the pedal to set the choke, what happens?
The pump squirts gas into the carb.
Turn the key, Engine starts.

So...

Dump a small amount of gas down the throat, hit key, start the car.
Maybe I should have said leave the door open to get at the key quicker? shruggy
