i've got a 2006 115hp 4 stroke thats in a heated garage.(i live in Ohio). i've been starting it about once a month and letting it run for about 10-15min., (more or less just to lubricate the top end.) i started it yesterday 1-14-2007. i noticed nothing comming out of the pee trail, so i shut it down right away. i restarted it, and the pee trail started peeing. now i'm concerned. Should i be??:%

Sounds like you just had some crap in the telltale and the engine pasted it, just keep your eye on it when you restart

The pee adapter has a smaller hole than the hose feeding it and, as Laddies said, can collect debris. If concerned now or later, you might pop the cowl and disconnect the pee hose from the other end. Run the engine to verify flow and then take compressed air and from the pee spiggot, blow compressed air backwards thru the hose then forwards. Then put it back on it's fitting and secure. Retest for verification.

That's what I'd do in your situation.

Or, if you don't want to go to all that trouble, with the engine running, take a fine wire and poke the hole to dislodge particles......course some could be too large to come out.
