thank you guys for your responses
Sounds like yours is very similar to mine..fire up.
Maybe thats just the way it is and that is the way its going to be. The motor does run good and gets the job done. So I guess I will keep on running and see what happens.
The intake air hoses look to be very good condition.
I have a 2003 dutchstar 330 cat
We are just getting ready for our trip down south and tuning up the coach for the trip. Going to AZ this year.
Once again thank you for the advice
If you see a dutchstar motorhome rolling down the road with two people smiling like crazy...WAVE
