This is normal for these types of pumps. I suppose "pulsing" would be better defined as a more rapid on and off of the pump. Hopefully that helps clarify what I meant.

What you are describing "could be" an air leak in the plumbing from the tank to the pump. Just the slightest amount of air being sucked into that line will cause rapid pumping.
Often times, it's just a matter of a loose clamp or a nut at the pump (intake side) that needs to be tightened.
