They'll prime themselves alright ... how LONG it takes to prime is the issue! The engine should have pressure almost instantly when it fires. If the pump takes a couple seconds to prime and build pressure then there's potential for wear in the motor.
So you solved "your" problem by sealing a leak. Great! But that's not the most common cause for loosing the prime.
