Another factor is memory! It is amazing how some dealers forget (or lose staff?) the basics of older models, while others can put their fingers on the most obscure stuff as if they dream about it in their sleep!

On my 90, I replaced straight fittings with 90's or 45's to get around the pre-bent hose issue.

1skrew, if you take a look at the 45's and 90's you will see that they are quite restrictive. If you haven't had any problems then OK, but we don't use them if possible. Just my two cents worth.

Thanks for the heads up on that. Never really thought about it till now, may go back to original.
