That's right Eric. Konigs originally came with red rubber or black rubber water discharges hoses. Just imagine how it feels when you get on a plane, start looking back for that tell tale of water coming from the hoses...nothing yet....nothing yet....then water comes out of the front hose??? You continue on, the motor is good, getting some good speed but no water from the rear hose. You are ready to race, the butterflys are gone as the speed gets fresh air under your bubble shield. Still no water from the rear hose. You ease off the throttle so as not to create heat too fast. Still no water. Aaaaggghhh! Can't go any more. Have to kill the engine before it sticks. Back in the pits you pull the hose off and try to blow through it. Nothing doing. You poke a piece of wire up inside to break up that damn mud dauber nest. No more solid rubber hoses.......from now on use clear plastic fuel hose....problem solved.

This is my question. Have you ever run across mud dauber nests by the thousands on trees, bushes and other things of nature? No. They are all on man made stuff. Under the eaves, under tarps, on brake handles of unused bikes, inside motor parts........... What did they do for a living before man came along? Especially racing man (and woman)!
