Go along to Super cheap ( or similar ) they have after market pumps there for about $15 new I have used them on my Beetles no problems
Just have it under the water tank so it gravity feeds easy to hook up with a micro switch in the washer arm of the steering coloum

I've fitted plenty of them to buses... you should not have a problem.
Blow some compressed air gently through the lines and nozzles, maybe they are slightly blocked.

nozzels arnt blocked clean with a pin n air
