I have an AUX fuel pump back by the tank that I use to prime the fuel system when the car has been sitting.

It's hooked to the switch under the dash that is run off a switched ignition source.

I usually turn the ignition on, hit the switch until I can hear the tone change in the pump when the line is pressurized, and give the accelerator a pump or two and then start it and she fires right, even after sitting all winter.

Once it starts, I turn off the Aux pump, and I never need to use that pump to restart the car as long as the car has been used in the last couple of days.

The mechanical pump has never had an issue pulling fuel through the electric pump. You need to make sure you are using the correct style of electric fuel pump. Rotary pumps, you usually can't pull fuel through. Impulse ones you usually can.
