Scott, et al,

I replaced my windshield washer pump a while back, and now have little flow
(maybe 3 - 4"?), and have to wait the better part of a minute to get that.

Questions 1 - is there a check valve in the line, or does the pump itself
act as a check valve?

Question 2 - I have replaced the original ground wire and grounded the pump
to the frame, using one of the washer bottle bolts.  Could this be
problematical so far as current getting to the motor?
