I OWN A 1980 CHEVROLET 60 SCHOOL BUS WITH AIR BRAKES. THE PROBLEM IS THIS.
THE SYSTEM WILL NOT HOLD AIR PRESSURE FOR VERY LONG. THE SYSTEM WILL CHARGE WITH AIR AND THE GOVERNOR WILL KICK IN
AT AROUND 120 PSI. BUT AFTER SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF FOR ABOUT 1-2 HOURS, THE SYSTEM WILL BE BACK BELOW 60 AND I HAVE
TO WAIT TO GET RECHARGED BEFORE THE BUS
WILL MOVE. I DO NOT SEEM TO HEAR ANY HISSING, LEAKING SOUNDS, BUT I DO BELIEVE IT MUST BE LEAKING. OTHER BUS OWNERS SAY, ITS JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS AND NOT TO BE WORRIED. HOW LONG IS AIR PRESSURE SUPPOSED TO HOLD, HOURS OR DAYS OR WHAT? I DON'T WANT TO BE STUCK SOMEWHERE AND NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE DUE TO INADEQUATE AIR PRESSURE. WHAT IS THE MOST COMMON THING TO GO WRONG? OR IF THIS IS NOT TO BE REPAIRED BY THE AVERAGE PERSON,ONLY PROFESSIONALS,WHERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO GET IT REPAIRED WITHOUT BEING RIPPED OFF. I AM IN THE TAMPA, ST. PETE AREA OF FLORIDA.
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. |
