How Tight Should Distributor Vacuum Advance Hoses Be ?

[andyk_79]

A quick one that I haven't found an answer for through google.  How tight should the fit be for dizzy vacuum advance hoses ?  I was surprised that they slipped off relatively easily compared to say a heater hose or similar which are very tight, and thought maybe they need replacing but given I am still learning a lot of this I thought I'd better check !

As Cozza says,

 

They don't need to tight, just firm enough that they don't leak or fall off.

You should be able to remove them with a gentle pull, no need for pliers.

 

Cheers

It’s not so much that they need to be tight but the idea is that they don’t leak.

Thanks gents.  I'll spray some carb cleaner to check leaks.  Appreciated!
