rubber? burning smell.

:msn4: anybody got an idea why my lovely girl smells !think maybe handbreak is not releasing or brakes are not working so good? and sometimes she is struggling to go above 30 but not all the time .breaks a bit sticky maybe ?

Its easy enough to check the handbrake is releasing by jacking up the rear end and trying to spin the wheels by hand with the handbrake off. they should spin freely.

Although I would have thought you would notice if the brakes are binding by the way the bus slows down when you put your foot on the clutch when driving, and you would be able to feel heat from the offending drum after a run.
