In cars, this is normally caused by a radiator cap that will not vent to or pull coolant from the resevour. Occasionally, when the thermostat opens the pump will pull on the radiator harder that the water will flow and causes the hose to suck flat. The cap has a little valve that opens and pull coolant from the tank to prevent the system from starving for coolant. I would change the cap next and make sure it is the correct cap to start with. You didn't say hoses or anything have been changed, so unless they are swollen or weak, I wouldn't think they would be the problem. Just my .02 cents worth, Chris.
