[QUOTE="nccatfisher, post: 444961, member: 10811"] Get the tygon tubing from a small engine shop and replace those hoses. They should be a real PITA to fit over those barbed fittings. Most likely the hoses have gotten harder and gained a memory. You can also get a GOOD grade of tyrap and cinch them down with them on the fitting. Take a regular pair of pliers and grasp them and roll the pliers down and that cinches them super tight. Most new motors use them instead of clamps now. [/QUOTE]
