You guys have some great ideas. I like my cars pretty much stock looking but both my RR and AAR have electric pumps (got em that way) and are always easy starts! Just turn on the key and after a few seconds pump the carb few times and they start right up. My other cars require multiple starts almost to the point the battery is done if they haven't ran in awhile. BUT the fuel pumps are very loud, so I'm liking the idea of initial usage and then let the mechanicle take over.
