I wouldn't say paranoid. But I think the electric pump is a good idea - if
it is used correctly - The alternative may well be worse. After sitting,
crank, crank ,crank and it won't start. Pull the air cleaner and pour some
gas down the carb or air cleaner, washing oil off the cylinder walls, then it
starts. Which is worse? I don't know.
How about crank it a bit, then turn on the pump and start it up. No
downside. - Seth

I'm totally opposed to using an electric fuel pump to enable a quick start
after a long park spell. It makes no sense to start on dry bearings and I
find that the extended cranking time required to fill dry carburetors is
just a little after the oil pressure comes up. Before that you don't want
it to start!
