If your priming pump is leaking then it should be changed out to keep from drawing air into the fuel system. The new style is much easier and about $20.
As for the post about starting after a fuel filter change and no priming pump, yes, definitely start and warm up the engine before changing. I have one of the old NA Ford 6.9L and, even with two batteries, it was nearly impossible to start unless warmed up after a filter change.
