Default Hand pump issue

I bought a new brass hand pump for changing the oil in al my small motors.

Thing will not pump anything and I cannot figure out what the issue is. Seems like it wants to pump. I tried it with a pail of water and all it did was make some bubbles.

Any ideas?

Does it need to be "primed"?

If you're getting bubbles it's either spinning backwards, or you’ve got it hooked up backwards.
