If you're having trouble loosing prime or getting the pump to prime in the first place just try a little test on the bench. Remove the check valve from the system and try it pumping into a jar.

I'm almost positive my problem is with the pickup line but I will keep your suggestion in mind. Just need some spare time to get a look at it, Thanks
