shrinking hose?

#1 Unread post by scarboy »

I recently broke the hose going from my petcock to the carb and I went to a motorcycle shop to buy more hose. Well I got the hose for free but it is too big to fit on the nozzles they connect to. Is there any possible way to shrink it to make it fit?

Do yourself a favor and go back and get the right diameter size hose and some screw type clamps .
