First off check the hose for a dirt daubber or other insect I have had one clog up a pee hole.

1st, have u ever changed the water pump? impeller? if not i would do so as that could be your problem. 2nd, take a small guage wire and stick it in the pee hole, it might be clogged

i did and dirt fell out then tryed it and it didnt pee then i poked it and water dripped out but i cant start it because my bucket to hold water broke do you think that i might have fixed it i will know once i get a bucket and no i havent replaced anything its only got ten hours

i think that might been your problem, keep poking in there and see if more dirt falls out

If you take the motor cover off you should be able see the hose that goes to the pee hole, it has a plastic fitting where it goes through the lower cover if you remove the hose from the fitting it makes it easy to clean it out. If anything is clogged it will be where the hose coming from the engine fits into that plastic fitting. Hope this makes sense to you, its had to describe it in words.

when i stick the weedwacker wire in how far should it go its only like a 4 to 5 inch hose to tell you the truth im hesitant to stick it far as i would not want to do any further damage

i find that a VERY thin wire works best, or a pipe cleaner. and it should not hurt the engine if you stick it far in there unless you force it in
