My Goulds J5 pump developed a leak at the shaft seal. I rebuilt the pump. When taking the pump out I had removed the drain plug in the jet attachment. I installed the rebuilt pump (with out noticing the missing drain plug) The jet drain was plugged with rust, so even without a plug in it the pump pulled water. The rust blew out a about 35lbs pressure at the Pressure Tank guage. I installed a plug and started the process over. The pump will not prime. It seems to start to pull water, then nothing. Any thoughts?
