Just a guess, but I doubt a Shurflo would move much if any syrup. If it would, I'll bet you would need to heat it using a band heater and bring it to near max temperature for the Shurflo.
I think you'd be much better off using either an air powered diaphragm pump or a air powered transfer set up, by putting 10-15 PSI pressure on the barrel and let that push the syrup out thru a hose to your finisher. Be careful not to over pressure the barrel. Like this: https://leaderevaporator.com/drum-pump-air-dispenser/ It needs an air regulator. Other sources may have similar ones.

Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
