After spending a few days playing, I mean diligently assessing, the new coach I think I have figured out a few of the problem areas.
The carb was loading up at cold idle and that turned out to be the choke pulloff needed a couple more turns of adjustment and the engine cleared up. So, I hope that issue is resolved for now.
The cruise control does not work and MikeT sent me some info from Jim Bounds. It has power at all the right places but when I checked the bellows it would not hold vacuum. Taking a good look at it, the rubber is deteriorated and perforated in spots. Hoping a new bellows will get that working again.
The step was at an odd angle and not useable. The PO had put an wooded extension on the step that hindered its movement. I removed that and the step folds and unfolds like it should. It is fine for entering the coach but really does not extend out far enough when egressing the coach. I see why the PO put the extension on. I have an idea that I will try.
I spent about an hour per wheel getting the oxidation off the Alcoas. Still have 3 to do but they look pretty good.
So, it is coming along and we are enjoying getting to know our coach. See you all in DuQuoin.
