Tom Phipps came by on Wednesday and we went to the junkyard. We
couldn't find any JC4 vacuum pumps off any big pickups, unfortunately.
We did manage to find some minivans that had the correct electric
wiper motor for the Ken Henderson kit, but we didn't have the correct
tool with us to remove them. We found a total of five second row van
seats with the armrests. We also scored a cruise control module.

Is there a trick to getting those wiper motors out?

Tom looked at my Onan with me. Ether didn't get it to fire. We didn't
see a spark coming off the plug wires, nor did we see any sparks in
the little box containing the points.

I think I should check at night when it's dark. I don't know where my
timing light is; if I could find it, it would tell me if I had spark
or not, yes? Tom suggested I use contact cleaner on the control board
and go wire by wire and clean and resqueeze the terminals.

Jumping pins 9 to 5 makes the solenoid go WHACK!, but the pump doesn't
feel like it's doing anything. Even directly putting current on the
pump doesn't seem to make it do anything.

I've gotten plenty of very good advice already in this thread that I
haven't even tried out yet. :) I'm always open for more, though.

Tom wants me to build a frame to hold the Onan whilst it's worked on.
Mom wants it out of her carport. :)
