no, you don't need the fuel pump.
first check the choke assy, especially the cable. make sure the choke piston is pulled out completly when starting cold engine.
i advise to change the cable-operated choke assy against one from 2KF/2NF/3TB/4PT/DJ02 (XT600 '87 -> )
check / clean carb.
if necessary, adjust idle-mix screw.
mount a fuel filter.
