I haven't much experience with airless sprayers but I have heard the bad language from those who use them.
I expect there is still paint in the business end of the mechanism and an air bubble stuck between that and the new paint fill.
I think the sprayhead will have to be removed or dismantled so the air will be able to escape and allow priming to take place. I suggest spending a little time with the instruction manual.
Should be able to purchase sprayer head only at any store that sells taps and hardware to go with them. I got a replacement at a plumbing store in Chatham Ontario.
by using a pin to clear the nozzle all you are doing is pushing the obstruction back into the hose which immediately comes back into the nozzle blocking it again. Take off the hose to the nozzle and use compressed air to blow the obstruction out of the system
Moen has a diverter built in that will need to be replaced.
use the same steps as when you replaced the cartridge, but this time you will need to remove the spout, there is a small diverter, you will see it when spout is removed.
take this part with you to the hardware store, along with the O Rings from the spout, as they will need to be replaced also
use a non silicone faucet lubricant when putting back together
The sprayer nozzle is clogged, first try cleaning it with a very thin pin, if still it doesn't work, you can install a new one, all you need to do is press the side clips of the sprinkler ( under the hood ) and it easily pops up and pull it out ( top of the hood ).
If you have a Delta faucet your diverter may need to be replaced. The diveter is located under the spout (see diagram)(this is not your faucet but works the same)
Here are the instructions:
Turn off water to faucet.
Remove handle.
Remove top cap.
Turning spout back and forth gently lift and remove.
