Then why did they leak air and/or gasoline? The 7mm hoses from the rip
off shop especially did. Maybe the too tightness caused improper sealing?

The air might have been due to the fact that 5/16" hose doesn't work for
the M.P.S. hose. Just one of the many things that need to be done 
properly (sealed it with rubber in a tube)... Maybe need to start a new
topic...

Thus, a good reason to use a torque wrench, especially if you are skinny
and have Autism. ;/ Think that is why my head studs pulled... But, thanks 
to Christian of Air Cooled Syndicate, never will have that happen: taught
me how to properly use a torque wrench, and will never forget either.


Thank you,
