    There are people (including me) who have rigged up a priming bottle to squirt some soapy water in through the bailer port in an effort to get the blades wet and lubricated.  Usually when the motor starts I can increase the RPM just a bit for a few seconds and it will start pumping.  I’m sure that if everything was new this would not be necessary.
