55 windshield washer problem

[Fenwick B.]

Can someone please tell me what is wrong with the WW lid on my 55? It has one hose coming from the foot pump, and one hose going to the WW nozzles. It has another hose coming out the bottom that goes to the bottom of the jar. It is a NOS model GM V-6463, and has never worked. If I connect a hose to the nozzle that goes to the bottom of the jar, I can blow thru it. I can connect a hose to the air nozzle coming from the foot pump and I can't blow thru it. It seems that this nozzle passageway never was opened to the bottom of the lid. Thanks, Fenwick Binder

The hose from the foot pump (large)goes to the bottle lid top neck (you can blow through it and suck air)
The hose (small) from the bottle lid bottom neck (you "cant" blow through it BUT you can suck air )
The lid black nozzles have a ball that doesn't allow the water going to the windshield squirters to back up or drain back into the bottle .
So if you have this condition your lid nozzles are OK , your foot pump may be leaking AIR pressure as you pump it.
