Well that's close to what I did.

The BME instructionc call for....And I quote

"1. Make sure ignition is off.
2. Close choke (so that it blocks venturi).
3. Set throttle to full wide open.
4. Flip prop CCW till fuel is seen entering the carb.
5. Set throttle to 1/4 open if it is the first time running engine
that day, otherwise set it to full idle.
6. Turn on the ignition system.
7. Flip the prop CCW with the choke still closed until the engine
fires. It will fire then stop.
8. Open the choke and flip the prop CCW until the engine fires
and runs.
9. Let the engine warm-up for a while before advancing the
throttle abruptly."

I'll try it your way.
