In my case (i had a poor primer pump that i put up with for ages, then finally swapped out; and I primed A LOT as I installed a veg oil system)- priming has worked for me only when I had a line or that banjo bolt cracked to allow air to escape. Just pumping, with no outlet for the air, never worked for me. My old pump would leak like a sieve, and require lots of pumps, but still did the job. My new pump does not leak, requires substantially less pumping, and works- but I always crack that bolt to allow the air somewhere to go.
Could be you have a poor pump. Probably needs tons of pumping, more than one would think necessary. Likely you still have air in the system; hopefully you are not still drawing it in somewhere. But imho you absolutely must crack an injector lone or that banjo bolt and pump till no more air remains.
