I have a 2004 Johnson 6 hp that is not peeing through the tell-tale hole. In tracing the problem, I found the water line routed through the carburetor. When questioned, there wasn't a strong, sure answer on why water is flowing through a carburetor. I went ahead and contacted BRP and received the following response. It's good to know for if you run across this in your travels.

Water should be flowing through the pee-pee hole at all times.
Water flows through and cools the carburetor to reduce the occurrence of vapor lock when restarting a hot engine.
On this model it is not uncommon for the passage in the cover to become blocked with debris.
Now YOU know...
