I'm not familier with the 240U, but on my 350, there's a plug on the top of the pump casing that needs to be removed to purge air from the pump and lines. I was told it will not self prime if you don't do this. Drain a glass fill of oil into a clear jar and hold it up to the light. If you see tiny bubbles, you're sucking air somewhere. If it's really milky, you got water which may just be from condensation on a empty or low resevoir. You could try filtering it out as suggested, but I would dump in a pint of denatured alcohol, circulate it for a few minutes and drain it, replacing it with fresh fluid. You may have to do it a couple times to get all the water out. (I did)
