The pumps are bad. I removed both of them and bench tested them to find they are dead.

Agree about the air issue.

Did some more research and have remounted the pump and primed it well - with a new sight glass/filter installed, so I can see what’s what.

So far so good. Cheap Chinese pump running fine... so far. Ordered a back up from China for $12.49 with free shipping. Be here in two weeks. I find when I have spares, I never end up needing them.
