I'm going to replace my bleeder hoses due to the fact that the previous owner had hooked them up wrong. I think this will resolve my idle / low RPM issues.<br /><br />Question is should i use OEM hose material or tygon fuel tubing, which is a transparent yellow?<br />The tygon is available from my local Mcmaster-Carr supply @.61 per ft, mcmaster.com / item # 5552K23. <br />Iv'e read positive & negative on both.<br /><br />What's your opinion.
