[QUOTE="B5MECH, post: 316500, member: 6829"] I've seen pictures of some that use a wiper motor, how much resistance does it take to pump the bellows, maybe be to heavy for it The actual angle of the linkage looks like it would be straining the motor, if you disconnect the motor mount and hold it out further might be the easy way to test that theory 8) careful of your fingers on moving parts when trying, I don't think the length would be a problem more the angle and the resistance in the two pivot bushes, may need to run bearings in them. Maybe able to adjust the pivot in on the upper link, the pivot should be about 90 degree in the central position The angle it's at in the pic would make it struggle What is the motor from? might just need a new set of brushes in it 8) [/QUOTE]
