Default Getting Pumped Up Windshield Washers

Anyone have any sage advise in coaxing a long dormant windshiled washer system to working condition? I have replaced the hoses and the diaphram with the rebuild kit can still cannot get the system functional. Ideas?

Any tips on priming?

Car is an early 66 with otherwise orginal components.

It does look thoroughly detailed, and I look forward to get my PhD in hose sucking! Mike
