Title: Air leak on throttle of my 1995 U-240
Post by: POPPASMURFF#1 on November 29, 2017, 05:07:31 pm
I have a steady leak from the throttle base. Can not find any info on the pedal assembly. At 22 years old probably needs rebuilding.

I have another air leak on the switch behind the air gauge, any thoughts where to get a new one.

Working out the bugs one at a time LOL

Here is the link on my rebuild of our throttle valve.  Hopefully, it is the same valve in your coach.

Williams Controls WM453109 Air Throttle Valve (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=27762.)

Might need a photo of "the switch behind the air gauge" to properly identify what it is.  On our coach there is a solenoid valve that controls air flow to the air horns.  Is that what you are looking at?  It is a Hadley solenoid, part #H00550B.  They are widely available.  Google search for the best price if you decide to buy one.

Amazon.com: Hadley Horns H00550B 12 Volt Tank Mount Solenoid: Automotive (https://www.amazon.com/Hadley-Horns-H00550B-Mount-Solenoid/dp/B001FMPP8O)

On any of these old original air system switches and valves, if you can find a identifying part number, then a new part can usually be found by searching online with Google.  Even if the original switch is no longer available, a suitable substitute will often be available.

This should be what you need Williams Controls repair kit #117103 but double check to make sure as we are on the road and this is by memory.

Chuck beat us to the post button but this may help anyway.

Here is the link to my post when I had the same problem 2 years ago.

Lots of help available here on the forum!

I checked the link to the rebuild kit in my old thread (above) and found it is "dead".  Below is a pretty good price on the kit:
