Well the MC9 Did not make it!!!! Just outside of Syracuse we lost air pressure. the sir would build up to 120 and then slowly drop to 60 or lower then build back up. once we got to Cortland NY we Stopped and called it off before it got worse.  We carefully limped it back to Phelps and straight to the shop.

You said slow drop then build back up- should have started building back up way before 60- sounds like governor. Not a high $ fix. Aggravating at most.

Yea the Governor seems to be general consensus. We will start there.  it never really dropped to the same pressure but I didn't feel it was safe to continue on with the group on board.
