As others posted, 10 shots is the only way.in my Sundowner.

Though truth be known, I think the first five shots really is "priming
the primer" as I get no resistance in the pulling or pushing.

Around five, I start hearing the suction of the primer so by the 10th
shot or so, I have good solid resistance, pushing and pulling.on the
knob.
