If the oil switch locks the power off to the electric fuel pump when the engine is not running, how will you prime the carb after a long period of sitting (long Winter nap)? Will there be a bypass switch?

My Fire Engine fuel pump is wired to the ignition switch only. I turn the key "on/run" and let the electric pump fill the carb, then pull the choke, hit the pedal one time, turn the key to "start" and the truck is running in 2-3 seconds. I don't have an oil safety switch, I figure if I have an issue the first thing I'll do is turn the key off which stops the truck and turns the fuel pump off. Been this way since it was built in 1957.
