By the way they gave me the strainer for free just for the agravation , top notch people , just cant fiqure out why it woulnt self prime just thought id let you know my foe
Email me , with your phone number this sounds really weired , something is not quite right here. It sounds as though you are getting vacume from the pump ,if you are releasing the fitting to get prime. Talk me through the system and lets see what we can do. Stupid question what rotation is the engine ? . The effect you are getting is very similar to what I see on our test rig when we revers the direction. Not sure lets see.
