Just to clarify, it's rapid movement of the accelerator pedal that causes
the accelerator pump in the carb to pump a lot of fuel into the engine, not
the pedal position.
If you pump the accelerator before you start the engine you will as others
have said, put a lot of unburnt fuel into the bores.
You can press the pedal to the floor if need be to start it but don't keep
pumping it as each time you will add more fuel.
The accelerator pumps real purpose is to add extra fuel when you press the
accelerator pedal quickly while driving so you don't get hesitation just
when you are trying to overtake etc.

Sure. So not a lot of pressing on the pedal when starting but once it's
started I can press a little harder? Thanks. Sorry for all the beginner
questions!
