I have a 2006 johnson 15hp 4 stroke. I had alot of trouble keeping the pee hole from freezing up last fall, so I took the little needle and spring out of it so it makes a bigger stream that doesn't freeze up so easily. Is this bad to do? I lost it (of course) over the winter so I wonder it I need to get a new one or if it is ok not to use it. I have had no trouble with it. If I do need it, where is a good place to get it shipped to me in Alaska quickly. Thanks!!!
