I had one of these pumps but it's been a few years.

You mentioned that 'in the ran a couple of thousand feet downhill'. What is your output now? If there is too much restriction the pump may heat the water in the volute to a boil and loose prime. Try running with an open pressure side of the pump. If a pump looses prime and overheats, this can cause vacuum leaks at the seals on the shaft, and any PVC or other plastic piping/hose on the suction side. But if it is all under water that is probably not the problem, however make sure you grease that thing up after you pull it out of the pond. Does your priming pump have a ball valve on it and are you closing it after you get it primed?

Let me know what happens.
