Subject:      Westy sink water pump
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

  My '82 westy sink pump doesn't work, or at least doesn't pump. It
runs, but very little comes out. I pulled it up, it's an Atwood
6126. Seems to spin fine, but even putting the intake into a glass of
water, nothing comes out. Haven't tried yet setting up some sort of
priming, since the impellers look okay, maybe that's it. I'm not sure
this is the stock pump, and, in fact, the wiring to it looks
definitely non factory.
   Resorting to looking in Bently, I see that there is apparantly
supposed to be a pump in the tank itself, and it looks like there are
two pumps then -- is this correct? I have no pump in my tank, no wires
going to it, although there is the grommet in the top for the wires as
per the manual picture. Hmmm. I thought that was an air vent
previously. So why would they have two pumps, if that indeed was the
case?
   Is there a good self-priming RV pump that would work?
