Title: Thanks to certain Busnuts and this community, no longer a busnut in distress.
Post by: Homegrowndiesel on September 28, 2009, 03:45:52 PM
I want to thank Everybody who called, posted and responded with help.  Thanks Don for the lead also, bus turned out GREAT.

After being out of service for 5 years and destined for the Dallas transit museum, our MCI 102A3 started on the second short blast of the air starter.

WOW what a great feeling. After a thourough inspection, freeing up the governor on the air compressor (thanks Mike & Bruce), We found the interlock open on the handicap access door(thanks to all busnuts who called, especially Don & BK) closed the switch and were ready for the 1600 miles drive home. We added freon to the AC system, removed a plugged filter drier at BK,s place (had a great time there) and were chilling all the way home.

Thanks Everyone.

Bill,

No problem....Oh wait a second. I didn't do anything ;D :D ;D.

I am glad that you were able to get her figured out. Sounds like a great buy. What are you going to do with it? Are you going to sell it?

God bless,

John

Bill, glad to see you made it home without any further "adventures".  It was nice seeing you and Roberta again.  The wife said it wasn't fair so we are going to head your way in a few weeks and spend an hour or so at the restaurant.

Look forward to seeing you then,

Frank
