I was having similar problems with my truck too.  It's a completely different setup from yours, but they sound like they have similar problems.  Mine usually takes a pump or two to start it also.  Before I tore the motor apart, one thing that helped a lot was a good intake seal...my intake gaskets were all blasted out and causing a major vacuum leak.  My truck ran a bunch better after that.  Hopefully somebody else jumps in here with some suggestions.

Were you having trouble with fouling out plugs?  My motor seemed to foul plugs like crazy.  I may mess with my plug gaps too and see if that helps.  I think I had mine set at .035.
