[xk] Trico vacuum screenwash

XK
1

My Sept 1960 XK 150 FHC has had the vacuum screenwash system
replaced with electric pump. Still fitted is all the
original vacuum assembly. Does anyone know how to plumb this
in? My screenwash bottle is the later type fitted with 3
hose connectors on top.2 connectors on the central position
marked control and vacuum a third connector which I assume
is the outlet to the jets. I have never been able to sort
this out and cannot find any diagrams relating to the very
late models.
Thanks–

On my '59 XK150OTS there is a rubber vacuum hose routed from the rear
of the intake manifold, through the firewall, to the chrome push
button “VALVE” on the dash. A second hose goes from the valve to the
Trico bottle. The other connection(s) on the bottle go to the washer
jets. When the button is pushed, a vacuum is applied to the brass
diaphram pump inside the bottle. Hope this helps.On Fri, Jul 29, 2016 at 5:43 AM, TJ49 trevorjpalmer@talktalk.net wrote:
