Hi Wes ---- on my '84, if i've completely emptied the tank I have to 
'prime' the pump. When you fill the tank it can push air up the line and 
the pump won't work. The cure is simple --- loosen off the clamp at your 
pump inlet (under the shelf under the sink in the 84's) a bit until you 
see a trickle of water ---- then tighten it up again. You are now primed 
and ready.

Cheers,
Doug

I just bought an 84 westy but have been unable to get the sink working 
except when plugged in to an outside water source, in other words, it will 
not pump from the tank. The pump seems to be working fine. Is there a 
valve somewhere? I am just getting to know the van, so any help would be 
great!
