Take the hose off the brass fitting and blow air from the **** hole. Sometimes bugs make a nest in there.

take a piece of 18 gauge insulated wire and shove it in the pee hole, sounds like a proceeduere I had done once ... LOL. If you have water coming out of the brass plug, you have waterflow and most likely you are safe, you're just not peeing. Had to do it on my '77 Merc 500 4 cylinder.
