Testing the windshield washer in our 1970 914-6. When I pull the wiper / washer lever I can hear a slight thud or click and then the wipers cycle. I have confirmed the noise is the electric pump as I can feel it move slightly if I put my hand on it while someone else pulls the lever. Does that mean the pump is good, or does a good working pump make a different noise?

I've been through many threads about the squirters not working, but haven't found much discussion about the electric pump itself.

Thanks.

Should be a constant hum / whirring

Clunk / thunk / click isn’t right.

Bench test it.
