Last night i took apart the whole pump assemble because it was not pumping fluid.. I found that the lever that moves back and fourth was sticking so it was not letting it go over far enough to grab hold of the wheel which pumps...I cleaned everything and regreased it,,put it back together and it does work now..When i push the mist button it activates solenoid which pulls a metal clip up and the lever grabs ahold of the wheel and the pump starts pumping...My question is after it cycles once and the clip falls back down to block the lever from turning the pump wheel the lever continues to go back in fourth which I assume is normal because the clip keeps it from engaging the wheel...The problem is its making a clanking noise...Is this normal,,,Should the lever always cycle back and fourth or should it totally disengage and not move when the pump is not activated....I hope this make since...

I went to autozon and bought a new electric pump that bolts on where the old one was....And the damn thing did not work,,Can u believe that...So in frustration I took it back off and put the original on until i got another one...And would'nt u know it....It started working smoothly and quiet..I really did not care to keep it orginal but I sure am glad i got it workin...Went to autozone and got my 22.39 back.....All in all a good day...And 1 thing off the list that needs a fixin
