Windshield washer questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am trying to get the windshield washer on my 86 working again and I need some help.

Does anyone know where I can get the rubber tubing that connects the wiper arm squirters to the fittings in the cowl? I tried the local parts stores and all they have is vacuum tubing, which is too large on the OD.

How long should it take for the pump to get fluid to the squirters? Mine takes several sweeps of the wipers before any fluid appears on the windshield. Newer vehicles seem to be quicker, wasn't sure if this is normal for an old truck.

Thanks.
