Jon,
One other thing I found with my old wiper was that if I cut a 3 foot chunk
of new hose and tested it directly off the carb it worked great. It lost
the suction in the 6 connections on the way to where it was mounted. All of
these hoses needed to be replaced.
Good luck,

Jon,
Try opening and closing the on/off switch with the motor running. If that
moves the wipers back and forth, then the unit is bad. There is a valving
mechanism in the back under a thimble sized tin housing. You might try to
gently pry that off with a knife and then spray some WD40. It worked on my
old old unit.
Good luck.
