Newell Coach Air System Leaks: Installing New Compressor Governor
What happens here
Align the new governor with the mounting holes on the engine block. Thread in the two mounting bolts by hand to ensure they start correctly and avoid cross-threading. Once the bolts are seated, use a wrench to tighten them. The creator notes he will look up the specific torque specifications later. Reconnect all air lines to their corresponding new compression fittings on the governor. Once fully installed, start the RV engine and allow the air system to build pressure. Monitor the supply and brake air pressure gauges on the dashboard. The goal is for both gauges to reach and maintain the appropriate pressure (around 120-125 PSI) at regular idle, indicating the governor is functioning correctly.
Goal: Install the new air compressor governor and verify proper air pressure build-up and maintenance.
