grigg, thanks. they do kind of seem to hard.
i will try that on the extra set i now have, the ones that came with the kit.
i upgraded to stainless steel flex hose, and always buy kit form, but this time it didnt work. LOL.
i expect some problems along the way, but this is not right. leaky banjo washers and stuck prop valve, etc.
but i will try your idea tomorrow morning and see what happens.
thanks much..leonard
