Question for the beananimal overflow experts

[Ryan-b]

I have quick question about the bean animal aswell. Mine is up and running, but when I start it up it will not get a full siphon unless I pull the elbow out, and allow it to get the full siphon. Once it has a full siphon I can put the elbow back in and it runs fine.

I have also let it sit for a good 20 mins with no siphon started.

Sorry for the hijack.
