Question Can no longer prime pump in Craftsman Wet/Dry Vac with Built-in Pump

Hi everyone,
I have a Craftsman 16 gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum with Built-In Pump, Model 338.17923, and am no longer able to prime the pump that pumps out water from a separate outlet. I ensure the opening inlet deflector is facing the top of the tank, and the pick-up and lid cages are properly installed. I then use the red wet pick-up elbow as per instructions.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very greatful. Thanks for your time and attention.

Never have seen a pump in vacuum and diagram does not show one. Here is your vacuum

Do you have suction on end of hose?
