I havent start my car in 2 month, today I try start it, pump the gas couple time, and start, second and third crank, it made a really loud pop from exhaust and a cloud of smoke , It never happens like this before, I wait few min and try crank again, this time it crank and run beautiful, I take it out for drive and it run smooth.

btw when I try crank, I press the gas pedal down a bit. I wonder if I pump too much gas in the carb when I try crank it.
