I put potable water in tank, opened the kitchen & bathroom sink
facuets. When I turn the pump on, i'm not getting any water or even
gurgling air. I'm not sure how long I can let pump run dry or if I
need and there is a way to prime the pump.

Should be self-priming, ... is an '80 under the galley sink? If so,
remove the pegboard behind/below the sink, find the pump. Careful,
the original pump is belt-drive and it will bite. You can disconnect
the lines to see if water is making it to the pump, might be a stuck
check valve or other on the suction side (had that before).

The original pump will run dry, should self-prime. If it doesn't, you
can buy a new pump/valve body from BB (Par pump) for relatively
little $$, or replace with shur-flo or equivalent.

Mark, you did turn your tank fill switch off didn't you? The pump won't
pump water with it on the fil position. I've got the over 50 sydrome.
Been there, done that more than once.

Sid, don't think there is a tank fill switch on my 80. I have two water
connections in the connection box. One is for city service and the other is for
filling the tank.

Mark,

If all else fails, loosen or remove the hose that goes into the
inlet side of your pump and let a bit of water run out. These pumps
a supposed to be self priming but perhaps a bit of encouragement may
help.

Good luck,

Hi Mark,
just something I did (forget to turn the breaker on in the closet??)
a simple thought

When I had this problem with my 88fc, it was the pump. It gave the appearance of
"lost prime"...I could actually suck water into the lines and get it going
sometimes.

I bought a pump at west marine. It took less than an hur to install.

The old pump looked like it came direct from Edisons lab.

Mark, I had the JABSCO pump in my 73FC go bad, so I removed it and
took it to Jabsco in Costa Mesa, and they exchanged it for a new unit,
no charge.---- Where in SoCal are you?
