Well, yep tiny, that's exactly what it has to have, infact more than a little push, and it only split 1/8 of an inch, and there is plenty of hose for it to seal. I was wondering why it didn't have any clamps in the first place. I will get some clamps. Think anyone around here could rebuild the motor locally? A local FLAPS I know of might be able to repair it, or just get me another one, but I am not very concerned with it right now. If I get my brakes done(have someone who is a mechanic who could do it very good, don't know what his price would be though, probably a lot), my turn signals working and some gas, I can get it registered, and be ready to drive it when I have my permit(1-1/3 years, geez, that sure is close isn't it? )
