Starting up after warm with carbs.., i'm confused Options

[Hammy]

My 1.7 has these carbs on it. They have an electric choke so starting it up cold for the first time is quick and good. But i'll go driving around town... Stop at some stores for 10 minutes, and when I come back to start it up, how do I do so? Depress the gas pedal like the first start up? I usually just turn the key and it'll turn over forever but not fire until I pump the gas a lot, then it'll catch and idle extremely low and pop and bitch at you, and you have to rev it for around 20 seconds before it'll idle right... This is embarassing sometimes as I have a lot of pride in my car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) So, How are you supposed to start up after it's warm? Is there a certain way or is something screwed? Also.. there are sometimes some small pops of backfire, not huge blasts but just a small series of pops. I am wondering if this is normal?

Any help would be great. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

I'm all for doing it your self, and like most of us, I do nearly all of the work on my car, but I'll admit that the first time I set my carbs, I had a mechanic I've known for a while do it. He showed me how, charged me accordingly (2 or 3 hrs labor) and now I can do most of it my self.. I'm too young to have ever had a carbed car before this one and I'd never worked with them before so it was totally foreign to me at first. and besides I was scared that I'd F something up and start a fire or something..

-If you've never fiddled with carbs, and you have a mechanic you could ask to show you or let you watch, I dont think it's a bad option..at the very least, you'll be up and running faster!-and unless there is something else going on with the car, you should only be a few hundred poorer...
