Paul: Just my 2 cents, but the early mechanically injected Detroit's really need a
way to shut them down when the throttle system goes haywire. Otherwise, you...
Hi John & Lonnie, Thank you both for your information. I have emailed Lani at the address given but have yet to hear from her. Wayne and I do a lot of...
Paul, Lonnie is absolutely right, you need to connect the shut down damper the way it is supposed to be in the specs, free up the mechanism and connect the...

Just an opinion....an air throttle works well with an automatic, however, I am not confident it would be as responsive as a cable. Anyone with an air throttle...

I had the same problem with my eagle ten when I bought it. take all the panels up in the floor and use PB Blaster on all the linkages. One other thing that you...
My Opinon is to hook it back up and make sure that it will work. My first bus had something go wrong and the motor would not stop! I was glad it had the shut...
