If he doesnt have a primer pump, somebody took it off. Its not on the IP like the other models. The 5 cylinder has sell room so the primer is up right off the fuel filter housing. The round thing with the black round button on top. If you dont have one, I have one I can sell you. Marshall

Whether or not you have a primer pump, the answers should be yes and yes. It should fill the filter on it's own, but you may have a dead battery first, or just adding a lot of wear and tear on your starter and battery if nothing else. It's always a good idea to fill the filter before you put it

The primer pump is there to prime the filter, but it won't hurt to fill the canister, either. It takes a long time with that tiny pump -- and if it is the old slyle, it is likely to start leaking when you operate it from dead rubber or leather parts. Replace with the thumb style (sealed) as
