<VV> Carb woes

This is quite common, since that area gets quite hot and hardens up the 
rubber tubes.  I like to replace these and use four hose clamps total.   
Alternatively, I think there are now available silicone hoses which are 
much more durable in the high temperatures.

Marc replies: A few years ago, based on the advice of Seth Emerson on 
this list, I replaced those rubber hoses with 3/8"  brass compression 
fittings from the local hardware store.  So far, no complaints, leaks or 
rubber hoses to worry about.
