At this point I'm installing parts that we can't verify are faulty, the surge valve is $7,900 Gulfstrcam is not able to locate the test box for Tstat calibration,. All I have heard today is, this plane is old, it was called a classic by one Mechanic, and they rarely see GII's at there shop. I'm glad we are not doing inspection here. Let's see if they can find a fault with surge valve, I really need Dallas Airmotivc to assist more in trouble shooting, of course, dallas airmotive told us speed switch, then tstat, all that appears left is surge valve,. Frustrating, sorry I'm still at plane now, I'll let you know further finding tonight, Thx Larry Ps; Flight Safety here in Long Beach has just retired their OH sims as did Simuflite, no more exist.
