[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 506897, member: 3278"] [B]Finally..........Airshot pretty much nailed it. Wondered how long it would take for someone to come up with checking the simple things first. The water pump is not a self priming pump. Never has been and never will be. You have to submerge the pump in water when running in a barrel to get it to prime and pump. Not 2-3 inches above the cav plate as was mentioned. Nor do you need functioning thermostat to see the indicator start to produce water. Sure wish folks would quit answering questions when they are not sure what they are talking about. Good job Airshot! [/B] [/QUOTE]
