Iv filled the oil fillter with oil, that primes that right ?

Re: Petrol pump
The fuel pump runs off the cam shaft so turning the engine is how it's done

Re: Petrol pump
Turning it over on the starter with the dizzy cap off will prime the carb but more importantly it will get the oil moving around the engine.
Ideally you should connect up an oil pressure gauge and get the pressure up before you attempt to start it .
