Hi Butchee,
I was about to say fuel blockage, but you replaced the filters. Other blockages e.g., blocked or kinked fuel lines, air filter. Is the pump delivering sufficient fuel?
You said "loses its prime". Do you mean you have to pump up the fuel or even bleed the air out? If yes, there is a leak. You may not see fuel leaking as the fuel is not under pressure, but it sucks in air - just enough to give you grief, but not enough to totally stop you.
I guess this is too obvious and you already knew it.
Hope this helps, Tony
