You should never have to pump the gas pedal to start a 240 or crank more than a couple of turns of the engine. What is the condition of the cap, rotor, plugs, and ignition wires? Old and or non Bosch, Bougicord, or NGK parts need to go.

Did you check for OBD codes in socket 6?

Clean the throttle body, replace gasket and clean all associated fittings / holes for the vacuum hoses and flame trap assembly.

Clean fuse holders and slightly tighten them to insure good firm fit. Replace fuses with copper ones.

Make sure the 25 amp fuse, holder and connection to the battery is tight and corrosion free. For $6 or so you can replace the fuse holder with a weather sealed marine unit. You can splice this into the harness but use a new connector at the battery.

Replace or re-solder the fuel system relay.
