Did drip-tube method, fuel won't drip out without continous pumping

Tried the drip tube method today. Did everything per FSM along with another experienced forum member, so I am fairly sure everything was done right.

The problem is, I couldnt get fuel to just drip on its own like I think it is supposed to. Fuel would drip out swhen I pumped the primer, but would not hold pressure and drip afterwards. For what its worth, the timing was about right if I went by the drips that came out when i pumped the primer.

I have the updated primer pump.

Any ideas as to what this may mean or where I may be going wrong?
