06 Dutch Star

Since my last question about rough rides, you guys gave me some great advice, I thought I would come back for more. I have another problem that needs input. It is my waterpump, it seems that ever since I disconnected from city water at a KOA park, my water pump works, but water just trickles out. I flipped the dial from "fill fresh water" and back but no change. My tank shows about 1/2 full. Before that it was working pretty good. Also, I changed faucets in the sink and bathroom, but the bathroom water brass nipple is sure hard to reach with one hand and attach the teflon tape. My 3 or 4 attempts show a little leak where the nipple meets the plastic nut. By the way,my coach is getting serviced for an oil change and the weighing of the axles. I will let you know how the ride turns out!

What is the current position of the lever in the utilities bay? If you have it switched to the fill position the water pump will run but will NOT pump water. It, on mine,must be in the level position (parallel to the bottom of the coach) I can't remember what the markings are but I think it says city water. I know this for a fact as I often fail to turn the lever back when I turn it to the fill position to relieve water pressure and no water the first time you try to flush the toilet or run water.
As far as the nipple and leak I can't help.

As Ronnie said, make sure your Fresh Water Fill lever is turned off (turn clockwise towards the sewer rinse all the way).
