As far as helping on startup, you float bowls should be full of fuel so it will not start any easier with or without an electric pump. You have a bad battery or charging issue.
I guess you missed my point. Electric fuel pumps are not as unreliable as you claim. I like having an electric pump. The override switch might come in handy if someone tries to carjack me.
