Re: Gas primer bulb replacement
The SS screw type hose clamps are easy to purchase...auto parts, WW, or most anywhere. The OEM isn't. Why does OEM use what it does? Probably a production volume thing. Only takes a second to squeeze their clamp. Takes a tad more time to get out the 1/4" nut drier and make half a dozen or so turns. Basic economics? Problem with it? Naw. Just helps to keep the price of the product in line.
