Air Governor
I know I have an air governor on my bus but I have never physically seen it and I am not familiar with how it works.

How wide should the on/off range be on the engine air compressor governor? What are the proper settings? I have noticed that my air governor allows a wider range than I am comfortable with. The air compressor builds to 130psi and remains dormant until the system pressure is reduced to near 80 psi. As the air pressure decreases so does the braking power. It would seem to me that a closer air system pressure range(i'e' 110 to 130) is required to keep the brakes working at their best level to stop the bus.
