Title: Any idea why my bus slows down and pulls to the right???
Post by: bruceknee on June 28, 2007, 04:42:35 PM
It usually happens at sandy beaches and it happened at a Hooters parking lot the other day

It's a loose nut behind the controls. Replace it, and problem is solved!

Bruce,
I know that your conversion is still young,
So I'm guessing that your new 6V92 is going through puberty.
;D

Bruce, to solve the problem, do not go on sandy beaches and stay away from  Hooters. I f this does not solve your problem I will have to make a service call.

Just to assist with your troubleshooting, try to find a Hooters on the left and see what happens.  Could be just a republican bus, they always pull to the right.

It may take more testing, research, and help from the board.  Go to all hooters and post the distress call on the board and get more opinions from fellow busnut (that is if they have extra opinions to spare since most busnuts are rather frugal with them and tend not to let any opinions get away easily)  gather all opinions with posted pictures of busnuts and hootergirls/beachbunnys on a common thread and maybe we can collectively reach a consensus. 

Then Jack Conrad will post after he gets back and we'll all say "why didn't I think of that."

:P

Better check the wear gauge on the sidewalls.

With the credentials and creativity of the viewership here...

We should have no trouble assembling a joint US-Canada research committee, that will receive vast sums of funding, to investigate and quantify this previously under reported and possibly quite deadly, threat to road safety.

No stone will go unturned, no beach will go unviewed, no Hooters will go unpassed.

Other environments and locales may also prove to induce similiar threats to road users, and will be similiarly included in the study.

For the good of both nations, we will work tirelessly until a problem is identified and a range of solutions suitable for political patronage and posturing are developed and offered to those in authority.

I was going to suggest there was a White Castle (burger joint) nearby.
Seems like you have already found the problem, LOL.

I would recommend that once you get safely parked, you perfom a rear end inspection.

You probably just need to balance the load.  Next time, bring your wife.  That should help ;D

You guys can have the rest, just save me a couple of drumsticks, and a cool refreshing beer to wash them down with.

It all comes back to fuel....

happy coaching!

My bike slows down and pulls to the right when there's blue lights flashing behind it. As a matter of fact my bus has done the same thing a few times. >:(
