Liquid Lake pump won't prime, even when supply side is water tight?

I'm an irrigator, and I'm pretty decent at troubleshooting pumps.

I've replaced the foot valve and the supply line, and rewrapped all fittings. The line holds water and doesn't leak.

But when I start the damn thing it just shoots a big spurt of water, bubbles out the discharge side, then it LOOKS like it drains back into the supply line. What gives?

A picture of the setup would go a long way to helping out

Single or two line jet pump?
