I have tried pouring gasoline down the line and it just dribbles through. Tonight, I was using water to avoid the stink of the fuel as I had to be inside. One time I tried the liquid above the pumps and another time I tried it below the pumps.
They are described as self priming. I do remember the clacking sound of the pump that I had on my first KR and this does not sound like that at all. I will try the battery tomorrow as this is a cheap charger. Thanks for all the input. I will let you know how it goes.
