If you set the throttle only partially = open - say=20 one quarter travel - the air supply is far greater than the engine needs = for=20 cranking or idle.  There is no advantage to going all the way wide=20 open.
The disadvantage of using full open = throttle=20 becomes apparent if you fumble the controls at all.
 
Maybe the start button should be foot = operated so=20 we can keep one hand on the throttle and the other on the mixture.....;=20 )
