I agree with the previous post. Pumping the accelerator vigorously is the precise recipe for flooding the engine. Most every Q-jet I have owned or worked on, if properly set up, will allow the car to start with no pumping, or maybe one half-pump (to set the choke). The only time I have to pump repeatedly is if the car has set for several weeks, and the fuel in the bowl has diminished.
