....before you start siphoning put some of the beer down the inner tube on top of the seal. It will be fine then.

So just put wee bit or the beer in the top and it will make a better seal can I not get a new rubber washer for it do you know worked great first few times till my stupid mistake now takes couple pumps to get it going and worried I'm adding air to beer with splashung
...yep that's it..I use a sterilised turkey baster. You could get a new seal but if it's like mine the beer works better...

Once you've pumped a couple of times and beer is in the pipe you stop and let physics do it's thing. Works best if fermenter is higher then bucket so gravity helps.
