Default Starting ERST2

Hi!

Do I need push the gaspedal while starting the engine?
I heard that the clutch must be pushed. What about the gas?

Thanx!

most older cars like the s2/s1s do need a bit of a blip of throttle to start her up- i don't think u need to depress the clutch pedal though.
that tends to be more relevant to even older cars with manual chokes like me little fiests which starts alot better when u depress the clutch on a cold day
