On the top of my engine, there is an air operated Schrader Valve. This
is the one I replaced 3 years ago from Stewart and Stevenson for 100
bucks. Well, this one is leaking air. Ralph rebuilt the old valve with
a new O-ring so I just switched it out. Works as intended. So that was
an easy fix. If you like the fact that you can keep some of these large
companies operating with their inflated prices- you can do as I did-
pay and pay. But since I wised up- and decided to keep my money here- I
will explore the best way to fix something, myself.Thought I would pass
this along. Ernie-83PT40 in Texas- trying to stop all my air leaks
