"POP" Start?
If you mean push start then you just have to get the car rolling at a descent speed with the key on, push in the clutch, put it in first gear, then let out the clutch quickly.
Basically "dump" the clutch, "side step" the clutch, or "pop" the clutch.
Is that what you mean by "pop start"?

Turn the key on, then start pushing the car. That way it's on when you have to hurry up and jump in.

I got a question. Most cars have a saftery switch that won't let you start them without the clutch being pressed in, so how do you pop the clutch and start them?

If the battery is completely dead, it might not even start up since there is no power for the FI system.

Why do people think that? When you're driving a car, the engine spins faster in 1st gear going 10 MPH than it does in 2nd gear going 10 MPH.
Therefore, leaving it in 1st gear will get the engine cranking FASTER at any given speed (how ever fast you're able to get the car rolling.) That will make it easier to start than having it in second or third.

ok, my take on popping a clutch....
i use either 4 0r 5 th gear.
Yes the motor may turn fast at 10 mph in first, but you are trying to turn the diff. If you are trying to spin the motor quickly, but not so torquey as to lock up the tires, you want to use the higher gear. I know use this method from experience, the physics mahy need a little more interpretation.

i was going to say the same thing.
now, if you had really low rear gears though, 1st gear may attempt to spin the engine so fast the the cars tires break loose when you pop the clutch.
3 possable solutions
1. put it in 2nd. that makes the engine rotate at a slower speed, keeping the tires from breaking loose when you pop it.
2 keep it in 1st, but dont push as fast.
3 keep it in 1st and slip the clutch slightly instead of popping it.

Well I know from experience also. I have an '83 C10 with an M20 4 spd. The 1st gear ratio is 6.55:1. That's what gear I've put it in and got the easiest results.
I was pushing it by myself with my wife at the wheel. I only had to get it rolling, she dumped the clutch and VROOM!!!
The fear I would have with starting in 2nd is getting the engine to start, then having it die again from slow RPMs. Similar to shifting into 2nd gear while only going 5 MPH.

I had a long-winded response here, but it's 3am and it makes no sense at all. I'll edit it when I get up.

ok...lets go over this
I have done it once before with my friend and it was in reverse but it worked. Second were talking about a carb here.
So Once im rolling with the clutch in......then what do i do?
1. let it out and try and start it?
2.let it out and push it back in and try and start it?
there is where im lost.

While rolling and the key in the RUN position, pop the clutch and the engine will turn over.
Basically, you are letting off of the clutch quickly and then pressing it back down before it stalls.

otherwise, you would have to hold the gas to keep it from stalling and you would launch....
