I used the same clamp . I think the 1 inch size worked best when I experimented with a garden hose . I installed it loosely on the Spark intake hose.used a zip tie to keep it from opening up . If you don't do that , you will ever get it on when you need to . It's a bear to but on. I'm still not confident with it and I intend to install a ball valve.
Hose Clamps for towing info
Stopped by Harbor Freight today, a package of four hose "pinchers" were $7.99. PN is 69116. The are in a red/flat plastic pack. I left mine that way and just taped my tow strap from the Jeep and Orange SOS flag, mini flourescent flashlite, compass, and spare key for my "emergency kit". Figured, if they never get used "oh well" and just one time is well worth it. Sizes varied from 3/8" to 1 3/4". Not sure what size would be needed so if anyone has the opportunity (or curiosity) to try a clamp, DO POST the correct size..FYI and thanx to the poster who suggested these from HF as a heads up. They also had 12v battery tenders for $6
Will need that too for Sparky 1 - 20 of 25 Posts
"yes" them
thanks, good info. ill have to get the proper clamps. for all the **** price hikes on these things they should include a clamp in your emergency kit since if there is an emergency you will prob need a tow and need a clamp.
that was my mistake, it said to have the drain plug in the back on the right open if you are trailering , not towing. its to help get any remaining water out. i remembered it wrong. lots of info for me to take in. i would be worried about putting the plug back in. Maybe put a rubber band on your wrist to remember
you were describing the contents of your ER kit and you said spare key? how much did it cost you to get one? the dealership only gave me one key then I asked them if they forgot one and they said nope it only comes with one key. i confirmed with BRP that sparks only come with one key. I heard spares are like $250 with programing.

It would have been nice to know about these things when I was changing fuel lines on my scooter. I was trying to pinch it with my hand and do thing fast but ended up just smelling like gas

BTW: the keys are generic, so no programming, the Spark is cheapthanks, good info. ill have to get the proper clamps. for all the **** price hikes on these things they should include a clamp in your emergency kit since if there is an emergency you will prob need a tow and need a clamp.

The key w/ floating lanyard is like $38~ MSRP from BRP. My dealer gives me 10% off and 10% credit to future purchases BTW for buying there, ask yours to! Key is Priceless if your on the water and somehow the other key does sink! Add a tow strap (I just use the one from my Jeep), a mooring rope, some extra sun screen and hose pinchers, small flashlite and a bright orange SOS streamer and you are set!
