And replace ALL flexible fuel lines! Possibly also the hand primer if problem persists...any bit of air in fuel system will cause fuel to drain back and IP will air-lock.

ETA: Also check the fuel return lines that are inside the tank...mine were rubber and so swollen that they caused back-pressure of fuel into the IP and a No-Start condition. I replaced them with hard lines and that immediately solved my last No-Start on my 8.3.

Also if you continue to lose prime double check your fuel Pickup Tube as they are notorious for cracking their solder joint at the bung.
