Must be drawing air when connected to filter and needing bled properly . Or leaking back .

Does sound like an air leak at the fuel filter housing or return pipe.

fuel filters are quite common to leak air into the system. has the water drain off plug come loose? are the rubber sealing rings on the fuel pipes corroded?? have you had the spill off pipes changed recently? they perish quite easily and are the most common cause of air leaking into the system. you will need a manual hand priming pump to prime the fuel system again after wards.
