Quote: How in the hell do you know when your driving down the road that the lower hose is not collapsing? if it don't have a spring inside the lower hose?. If it doesn't have a spring than that's the part of the problem!!!
Because you rev the engine and observe the lower hose!!!
The hot rod was sucking the lower hose closed. I couldn't see it happen. However, when I revved the engine and held onto the hose I could feel the bend getting sucked flat on the back side.
I sacrificed a coat hanger and fixed the problem. It'll hold up as long as you don't run straight water.
Gee...I didn't see the part where he has no spring in the lower hose! ....I assumed the basics were "done", how can anybody install a lower hose without a spring?...esp new hoses today, there so thinwall/cheap
Buying and installing a spring would cut into the bottom line
