no water coming into pump

[Tully83]

18 x 36 in ground pool new to me, got it cleaned up and now working on getting pump and filter working.

if I fill the pump basket with water or have a garden hose pouring water in My pool jets works with a few bubbling now and then,
or if I stick a house in skimmer it runs into pump basket and same thing.

but does not seem to be sucking it up from pool on it;s owe.!!!

It seems you have a suction side air leak or there is insufficient water in the pool 1/2 to 2/3 up the skimmer inlet or the weir door is jammed up
