I have a three point 55 gal sprayer, with a similar pump, and it is very bad at getting an airlock.
I need to rebuild the pump on mine.

Fill the tank with water to prime the pump. It needs to be at least half full to get enough head pressure.

Maybe try pressurizing tank a bit with air hose (into vent) to actually force water into pump to prime it....

Did you run it dry when you put it up or did you put RV antifreeze in it. If you ran it dry (no RV antifreeze), the rollers in the pump are stuck (rusted) and you need to take the pump apart and free the rollers. I always park mine with RV antifreeze in the pump. Keeps the rollers from hanging up. I have the same pump as you, different manufacturer of tan\k and spray heads
