Where to start with an air problem

[thomas_sorrentino]

John,

I had the same exact problem when I went to start my bird to take it
to Holland, Mi, back in Dec. It also had been sitting for about 6
weeks. After my initial panic, a slight tap with a hammer on the
governor (where the airline comes out) while the motor was running
cleared it right up. It was fine after that. My guess is that
something was slightly stuck from sitting and just needed a little
persuasion.
