Pump Prob? 88 7.3

I need help on this. I have a 1988 7.3L and I put a new injection pump on it about 1 year ok. Ever since that time when I start it from a cold start it will run rough for a few seconds then die out. I will have to pump it and crack on it fro 15-20 seconds to start it again. I want to know why I have to do this? I understand the fuel is not staying in the engine when I shut it off but why? Help
