Default How to prime ps pump?

Okay I finally got everything on and started her up and it all works except that the ps pump makes a noise now. I was told to prime it you have to manually turn the pulley counter clockwise but I did that and it still makes that noise. Is there a different way to prime or bleed the system?

It should bleed itself pretty quickly. The noise could be a bad pump, or even some new pumps make noise.

fill the pump to the right level, and turn the wheel from stop to stop... it will bleed itself out, just dont hold it in the stop position (stop is full left or full right)

They are designed to self-prime if you think about it..turning it counter-clockwise helps cause it doesn't suck in Air as quick, and then it pretty much self-bleeds too..
