Default Windshield Washer Pump (Need Input from any C3)

Thanks everyone for all the help so far. I have my windshield washer pump pumping a fair amount to my headlights and barely to my windshield. How much strong is the stream supposed to be and anyone who's had the pump open and looked at the piston. Should there be a modest gap between the piston and the wall?

Hi Y69O,
I have an article on testing and rebuilding the 5-port pump from the NCRS RESTORER, it was written by Bob Cook. If you're interested in it let me know and I'll send it to you.
Regards,
Alan
