Eshops x120 skimmer problem

[Fishko]

My eshopss x120 skimmer works like a charm but for some reason when i turn on the skimmer it takes sometimes a good minute or two before it starts up i have taken it apart and it fixed it temporarly was wondering what the issue is it works very well but does not turn on right away. Makes a sound of bubbles but no bubbles and you can see it lifting up the water slightly in the skimmer but its takes some time to turn on

Any obstructions in the air line?

No there wasnt but the little cylinder which the tube connected to had salt creep build up. I clean that and worked just fine. It seems it was an issue priming.
