Default Technical Assistance: M38A1-CND3

I am helping a friend get his M38A1-CND3 (MFR SER#100202 Del 6-71) operating and I have 2 questions for the M38A1 experts:
1) the Engine Primer Pump - where does it pull the fuel from and where does it push it too? I can see the fuel tank line, in line fuel filter, fuel pump and steel line up to the carburetor but I don't see the primer pump hosing on the engine side of the firewall. I am trying to see if it is working correctly or not.
2) the Fording Control lever is not hooked up. Does it control a single wire or two wires into the engine compartment? I see 2 disconnected metal wires in metal jackets protruding through the firewall. Choke and throttle advance wires are working correctly.
We have ignition and proper battery voltage (24V) but I'm not getting fuel into the carburetor. New fuel tank was installed by the owner.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
