    Yes I took the govenor off and it was still leaking back through the compressor.I know the pic isnt great but its the best shot I could get as its buried low in the frame.Im thinking its the unloader valves thats stuck.Many thanks for your replies. Paul

    Thanks for the replies.I disconnected the govenor but it still behaved the same.I tried a little light oil in the intake tapping with a hammer but again I had no joy.I think the head has to come off to sort this.The problem with taking the head off is the chances of getting a gasket over here is zero.Could the gasket be reused for a short time untill I can get a new one or could I cut one from heavy gasket material?.I thought it was a Midland compressor but not sure now.Heres a few pics of it see if you guys know what it is...Thanks again for all the help. Paul

    Hi all,We started the Cruiseliner for the first time in 7 months today and it started first turn of the key....but it wont build air pressure over 20psi.When the engine is shut down the air can be heard leaking back through the compressor.Im thinking its the unloader valves are stuck.My question is does the compressor head have to be taken off to clean them or is there some other way to clean them? I think its a Midland compressor.Thanks Paul

    Funny thing is if they took the time to fully look at whats on the property and have it valued they'd get even more cash they didnt earn!!!! Paul

    Thanks for your nice comment Vlad.The white paint is DuPont Imron white code 28072U...no pearl.Interestingly the guys in the paint shop told me it was used by Fiat in Europe. Paul

    Very interesting artical Paul....Maybe Aussie operators prefered the steel hoods thinkin the fiberglass hoods wouldnt stand up to being hit by a Roo or Wombat....just a thought. Paul
