New pump/motor, no leaks, top still doesn't work

Post by 1Zed4 » Sun Mar 18, 2018 11:03 pm

The top is out and on the ground and i purchased a new pump/motor from a gent on here. I installed it today and all lines are numbered and in the correct locations. The electrical lines are connected correctly. I hooked up some leads to a battery and nothing. I swapped them and still nothing. I've tried with the brass pin pushed and not pushed. The hinges aren't leaking either. The pump is working and so is the motor as I've had to refill the resivoir touch.

Kind of stumped. Is it self bleeding?

It is self bleeding, just top it up after its been run. So you have the hose connected in pairs, ie 11 & 13, 12&14?

Yup. I also had the top upside down when trying to use it. I thought let me just flip it over. Sure enough l after I did she started to work. I feel like a dummy, I looked at the hinges and I was reversed in my head hahaha :headbang:
