Is this pump fully primed?

First of all, thanks very much to the community, I've learned a lot. There's so much information in the forums, and thanks to the search functions I've never had to ask a question. Until now. :)

I'm helping a friend whose pump seems to be operating sub optimally. I have replaced the cover o-ring, removed and lubed the drain plugs, and while it's better, it still doesn't look fully primed. Or rather, it doesn't look like mine as the water doesn't splash to the top.

Is this primed or do I still need to be looking for where the air is getting in?
