I know what you're thinkin......but could it be the regulator instead of the pump

Otherwise, I have next weekend planned for me

If it's the regulator, you won't see 40psi when the pump primes. If you want to prove that it isn't the regulator, measure the pressure with the engine running. Should be ~40psi.
