For lack of a better term, the pee hole from the upper unit is not spraying a stream of water when I am running the motor on the muffs. Does it take some time for this to start or should it start immediately. Everything was fine with the pump last summer but now nothing on the muffs. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Phil

Run some weedeater line up the hole and see if a bug has blocked it up. Is it overheating or just not peeing?

It does take about 10-20 seconds for the pee tube to start running. That is normal. But after say 35 seconds shut it down. It takes like 4-5 gallons of water to fill up the water jackets in these blocks.
