Icon2 91 prelude si wont crank

ok, I just bought a 91 prelude si with the b21a1 on monday, the guy told me that it sometimes has trouble starting unless you pump the clutch. when I test drove it it cranked and started just fine, then when I brought it home it cranked and started just fine. then later I took it to work, and when I came out I had to pump the clutch a couple times to get it to crank over and start. now sometimes it wont start at all pumping the clutch, I have to turn the key to run, get out, and use a peice of wire to short the battery signal wire to the positive battery terminal and it starts every time that way.

I cant figure it out, clutch safety switch is good, main relay is good, battery is new and fully charged, alternator is new, starter is good. what could it be? its a really nice car, and I wanna drive it but I am afraid that im gonna kill it in traffic since Im not all that good at driving a 5-speed especially with a stage 2 clutch.
