Airk Brakes won't pressure up

[Chuck Wheeler]

John,

I would start with the Air Dryer. I have had the valve stick on our coach.
If there is a steady stream of air out the purge valve it's not sealing. I
have temporarily fixed ours by placing my palm over the valve vent until the
air comes up. It is OK until the next time the air is down. If this does
it then it is time for a rebuild kit for the dryer.

Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Airk Brakes won't pressure up



I just started up my 1978 Wanderlodge FC31 bus after a long winter
hiatus. It started right up (in a sea of blue smoke), but the air
brakes won't pressure up past sixty. The same thing happened last
year, but it seemed to fix itself when I went back out a week later.
The bus is old, but only has about 30,000 miles on it. Any ideas of
what I should be checking first.

Thanks very much for any help.
