I once had this problem in my TR7. I found 4 individual faults in the
system. Each time, I was certain I had found the problem, and was
disappointed, until the last one:
1. corroded motor contact
2. blocked filter in pickup
3. blocked hose
4. blocked squirter-jets
They finally worked after I blew out the jets. I then proceeded directly to
the pub.
Good luck.
