Listen very carefully or use a test light to make sure the the pump continues to run after priming. It sounds as if your pump is not getting power from the board to keep running. you can run a seperate 12v wire to the pumpto see if it keeps running.
Ours acted like that. The carburetor was gunked up and the plug was fouled. It had set a while before we bought. Dealer rebuilt the carb, replaced plug and changed filters. It stemmed from a clogged spark arrestor in the exhaust pipe. Runs fine now. I do the sea foam thing too. Does seem to help.
