I have had the same problem pulling water out of a creek to pump into a pond. Pump is about 10 feet above the creek and about 200 feet from creek. Foot valve in creek. Stream of water would be great for a few seconds then drop off to nearly nothing for a few seconds. Kept cycling like that. Realized that line from creek had high and low places in it. The high places had air pockets in them. The pump would pull a vacuum on the air pockets and at a certain point, would suck water in through the foot valve. Water would flow well for a few seconds and then slow down to a trickle. Walked the line and picked it up as I went to get all the air out. With no air in the line, I now have full flow at the outlet. When I bury the line, I will make sure it is going uphill all the way to the pump so there can be no air pockets. You may have to put a lot of water and pressure on the bottom end to force all the air out at the pump. Richard

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
