Re: 53 8ba hard start issue
I also do the electric pump shut off for 10 or so seconds before shutdown. [when it's hot out.}
It just burns off a little gas so it won't boil over.

Re: Flex fan?
Did you ever consider an electric ? I have one on my 48. I think it's from a 90's Buick. 12 volt. It may not suck as much as Flatford8 's, but it works for me.
