[Tigers] Windshield Washer Question

[Tod Brown]

Interesting that Tom Witt would use the analogy of an anti-backflow 
valve being like a diode.  When I was learning about electric circuits, 
the function of electric components were often explained by using 
analogies to fluid flow, the assumption being, I guess, that people were 
more familiar with hydraulics than the new-fangled electricity.  Shows 
my age, I suspect.

Anyway, I use an electric pump in my Tiger and have it mounted close to 
the washer bottle.  It works pretty quickly when I push the switch for 
the same reason Tom mentions - not having as much empty tubing to 
"prime".  Try moving the pump closer to the bottle and see if that 
helps.  The problem might also be with the pump itself.

For anyone who is contemplating this change, I found a round, momentary, 
pushbutton switch which fits perfectly into the old washer pump 
mechanism hole in the dash, Calterm #40184.  I will send a pic if 
interested.
