On our second outing in the Pumpkin, I tried to raise the rear end to level the coach and waited for the pump to cut in and do it's thing. No action, so a quick look under the hood revealed a melted inline 30 amp fuse. I took the fuse block out and direct wired it and it started pumping...and pumping...and pumping, even though the pressure was about 140. I rapped on the Penn regulator with the end of my flash light, and it quit. Obviously, the regulator is sticking. This regulator is the original type that used to bolt on top of the pump, however, the PO changed the pump for a red colored Super Flow MV-50. I have a new Viair from Jim K and a new regulator, however, I'd like to keep this system working 'til the weather changes before I redo the air system. My question is this. Can the Penn regulator be fixed, or is it just a waste of time?
Thanks
