Stock windshield washer system, Worth saving? Options

[saigon71]

I continue to address comfort/drivability projects on the teener. I plan on driving the car a lot this year and need operational windshield washers.

When I filled up the reservoir and connected the stock system to the spare tire, all the fluid leaked out below the gas tank and deflated the spare tire.

My question is...is the stock system worth sorting out and using for DD purposes or should I just go with a pump?

Thanks!

You might find that replacing it with a simple pump may be the easiest route, but you will have to come up with a switch to control it.

There is supposed to be a limiter in the air line from the spare that limits how low the air pressure can get in the spare tire. If you replace that, you might find that there is simply a bad connection in a water line. Usually the problem is at the switch on the steering column, but the leakage would be into the interior if that was the case.
