The part that says the pumps should not be turned on just prior to ignition puzzles me because I always turn on the pumps, wait for 10 seconds and then fire up ignition. Is there a proper answer for this procedure and am I doing something wrong at startup by not having a pump on?

So yes the pumps need to be run, make pressure, prime and then start.
