My 58 Nash has a choke & pull starter. It has a mechanical fuel pump will pull lever, so sitting a long time I manually pump filling carb, pull choke and accelerator pedal about 6 times...starts right up.

Retired from AF 1976. Moved in with Mom till I built a house. Used Dad's 1938 International. I don't recall the exact stafrting procedure but I had seveer 30s cars and drove the folks car and trucks. All had a different starting procedure. Somthing like pull choke, stomp on gas 2.5 times, Clutch in, Hold mouth just so, say prayer and hit the starter

Then there was a new Nash, late 30s where the starter was under the gas pedal. Neighbor had one.
