I agree, I think you need to run the crimp type clamps with the plastic (or whatever it is) hose. I think the factory hose looks like some kind of shrink type of attachment. I'm going to run the 415lph e-85 Walbro pump with that type of hose and clamp when I do my bucket. I'm also going to run mine at 43.5 psi for better flow.

Worm gear clamps are prone to work loose from the pump vibration.

I just pulled out my pump tonight. My Gates hose is very soft and feels deteriorated. I will be running the Racetronics hard plastic stuff for my 400 pumps.

After what I have seen I personally would not run anything other then the plastic hose, I have yet to see a rubber hose hold up well long term.

It seems like most of us with problems are from the north, and the southerners (and Alaskans ) have less deterioration of Gates hose. That makes me feel relieved that I sold my unused ones to a guy in Florida.


I had to think of something to remove any guilt from selling them.

What day of the week was it when you sold them?

Anything sold on Saturday is known to be free of defects. You can sleep fine tonite.
