Okay I'm back. I picked up some hose and a solder bulb. With a piece of wire in the hole I can squeeze the bulb and it opens. With no wire in I squeeze and it opens. In neither case does it close. Does this mean the hole I made in the bulb is too small? FWIW I ended up with 7/32" ID hose. Close but maybe a touch bigger then the what was on. 7/32 slips on easily while the original hose was a tight fit.
