Hi,all:
Well, I awoke the Papabus from a looong winters nap a couple of days ago when the temperature went above freezing for the first time since November.
It fired up the 3rd try, and after a couple of coughs it smoothed right out. Seems all is working as when parked last year with two exceptions.
One is a minor air leak underneath, sounds like its somewhere between the tag and drive axle.....can't tell yet as my bus ramps are still buried in about 3 feet of snow.
The other leak is at one of the Skinner (?) valves on the top of the DD. Photo attached. It's the one on the right with 2 air lines.
It's likely an o-ring or something. I think this is the fast idle solenoid valve?
Is it easily repairable, or should I just replace it? I have a selection of standard o-rings here, or is this there a special kit I need?
Thanks.
Mark
