:thinking: maybe we should outline all possible ways?
the ones i know:
mouthfull of water like stealing gasoline.
pump on inside end, then take it off when it gets over enough.
sink utube and saranwrap both ends. try and repeat.
burn up a pump on the dry end for awhile
get a big enough sump to get your head in there. take a big swig of saltwater and blow it up to the top and over until there isn't any air in the line.

Hey speaking of priming pumps and kickstarting overflows and so on. Dont forget the tried and true, ziplock bag. Fill the bag, then put it over the end of the pipe and close the rest around the plumbing and ten with free hand squeeze the bag. Works much better then letting a pump dry prime.
