I will give that a try. I am game to try anything. Before I do that can you look at my newest post?i would first try to remove the suction filter and fill it with oil then put it back on real fast. if that didn't work i would consider to sacrifice a filter by punching a hole in it with a center punch so that the hole was on top,and then fill the filter with oil and put a sheet metal screw in the hole to seal it. then start the engine to see if it will prime. you can always remove the screw and repeat. then if it primes you can put on a new filter. i wouldn't drill a hole but use a center punch to avoid drill cuttings. don't use a self tapping screw either for same reasons.
Thanks
