The fact that you have to pump the gas, and you have backfires would indicate a problem with the air flow meter. False air (air that does not go through the air flow meter) is the leading cause of poor running on the L-Jet system. Carefully check the vacuum lines, and the hose routing on the system, including the big hose between the Air flow meter and the throttle body. It has a tendency to split between the pleats with old age.

Check the timing and the wiring mentioned above.

Mike, the flap and the start wire are 2 different circuits. Opening the flap does not do anything to the start circuit.
