    I know this is an old post and surely he has fixed it, but there is a valve on one of the air tanks that is a safety valve and won't let them air up till it makes enough pounds, when that valve goes bad, she will not air up, the only thing hooked to it is the airline to the bags. I forget exactly what it is called, I even had trouble getting KW parts or even the techs to understand what I was talking about, untill I walked out intheir shop and pointed it out on a truck they were working on.
