So I used both the old and the new. I've always used cartridge style Racors in the past, so this arrangement was new to me. Not sure if using both seals was right or not ...

1- air in the fuel is making it run poorly. fix air leak and will run like new again.
2-Were the replacement primary filter EXACTLY the same model number? Racor has many filters that look and are numbered nearly the same but are not. Double check with the original. If that does not work, start over with a new element and gaskets.
3- The fuel priming lever is on the mechanical fuel lift pump not the injection pump.
