With my Air dog, I do not have to prime main filter. It takes about 7 psi to push through the bypass valve in the CP3 and return to the tank. By chance did you hook up the FASS so that it only runs when the engine is running? Check to see that the FASS is running when you turn the key on.
That's a good possibility too, my raptor was set at like 5 psi. I'm running it at 15,
Reason being is it's a small pump, you should be able to set yours at 8-10.
