Beemon Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 After doing some testing with the vacuum gauge, my switch is flawless (except when turned ti 'Wide', which is to be expected since it is a controlled vacuum leak to the top of the wiper motor), my wiper motor drops engine vacuum by 2"Hg (I am pretty sure the rear rubber control switch just needs to be re-lubed with some type of vaseline), but the washer jar has a drop of 5"Hg when not turned on, telling me there is a leak here. Vacuum lines are fine, no holes in them. So, does anyone have any experience with rebuilding the windshield washer pump with the vacuum coordinator? Kits are available, but from what I understand I need a rivet gun. Couldn't I use some really long machine screws? Also unrelated but my windshield squirters are plugged. I get fluid when both are removed, but nothing when on the car. Is there a surefire way to clean these out or is it impossible and should I just opt for some repros? Thanks guys.

JohnD1956 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I would pick the nozzles with a sewing needle to try and unplug them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-g-g0 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Might try soaking them in vinegar. Likely plugged due to hard water. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
