I have a 1968 4903 and I live in NYC, it was also 26 degrees here today.
I went to start it and after a few tries it fired up ok. However the high idle never kiked in, so I reved it up with the foot pedal, but no natter how high or how long I reved it, the air pressur never went up, it got as high as 20.
Does this have anything to do with the cold or is this something else altogether.
Any help would be greatly apreciated, Thank You |

On the top area of your air compressure is the regulator, these often hang up in cold temps, take a wrench and give it a few wacks on the barrel of it, don't smash just wack it a little!

Hello Joe.
Air dryer purge valve frozen?
This will prevent the system from airing up.
