Re: Translucent tubing vs rubber hose?

[billw]

I sometimes fix chain saws and weed whackers that coworkers come crying to me about. The number one problem is that the supposed fuel-compatible, greenish hose has become brittle and has broken in a number of pieces. That stuff isn’t cheap, either; so if you think you’re going to SAVE money, think again. I’m with Jerry and think that rubber fuel hose is actually better. If you can find it, Yamaha’s fuel hose is the best stuff going. I hate to admit it but it’s almost as good as their ignition systems, which are 99.9999999999999% perfect.

And Jerry, congrats on your one thousandth post!

Long live American manufacturing!
