Here is how I (improperly) start my 22R engine when it is cold.
Pump the gas twice, then at half way on the gas pedal, I crank the engine, and it usually won't start.
Buy a can of starting fluid, and insert a skinny tube at the spray part of the can.
Loosen the wing nut on the air cleaner, and give a shot of fluid into the carb.
Tighten the wing nut.
Start the engine... pump the gas twice, hold the pedal half way down, crank the engine for no more than 10 seconds. It usually starts.
Now I know this ain't how it should be.
Anyone care to set me straight. I seem to have forgotten how to start a carb'd vehicle.
