You tell us.
Did this make it through?

This is the only website showing Bosch PES 6 KL 70/320 R 7 pump.  Most
other pumps are the 70/120 pumps

http://www.best-deal-items.com/germany/item/110635253742/reparaturanleitung-bosch-einspritzpumpe-pes6kl-pes8kl/

Perhaps someone can get deeper in at Vintage Bosch fuel injection pumps?

This pump is dusty but clean, it appears - it will buff out.
The 70/120 pumps found online seem expensive.  And all things Adenauer
seem expensive.  Oh, well.

Will also scan booklet title: Bosch Injection Equipment for
Four-stroke Petrol Engines printed 10/54  From the booklet the three
Bosch plates are pump, diaphram, air pressure temp feeler.

[MBZ] Adenauer Bosch Injection Pump

Re: [MBZ] OT: antiX linux

Sounds interesting.  I should try that on the Macbook 1,1 (core2, no

Curt Raymond via Mercedes 
September 15, 2017 at 8:58 PM
Some of you might remember the cache of very old (2006) Macbook Pro 
laptops I found at work awhile ago. Since I STILL haven't gotten a 
replacement (9 weeks yesterday) for my dead work laptop I carry one of 
them when I travel.I've been using Lubuntu linux which is a 
lightweight Ubuntu distro. It works acceptably well but takes a long 
time to boot and runs the fan in the computer HARD.
Today I took a spare machine and installed antiX which is the 
lightweight of Mephis, based on Debian. So far results are positive, 
this machine has 2GB of RAM while the other has 4GB and this one boots 
faster and seems to run more smoothly. Its using IceWM for a window 
manager which I think is the magic to being so lightweight.So far 
everything I want to do works, I can get online, check email, watch 
Youtube, go to Reddit, etc. Later on I've got some graphics to edit, 
I'm going to install Gimp and give that a go.
I'm sold. They claim antiX will run on a PIII, this thing is a 
powerhouse by comparison...

Re: [MBZ] OT: Generator Heads

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

And like most industrial diesels, the Cat engine he has is limited to a maximum 
rpm of 3400, I believe.  At 3600 rpm it would be coming apart.

There are so, so many reasons NOT to run a generator at 3600 rpm (two pole) 
compared to 1800 rpm or a lower speed with a two bearing alternator:

Increased fuel consumption
Increased engine wear
Shorter life resulting from above
Higher noise level from engine and cooling fan
Less mass in rotating components, meaning poorer response to load changes
Higher requirements for combustion and cooling air

I could go on…

[MBZ] Got hood open on the 140 after kid backed into it

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

So I messed with it for a bit and finally got the hood open. It was not hung up 
at the release it was actually hung up on the hood stop on the passenger side 
that points forward at the bottom. There appears to be no underlying damage 
except for the bottom of the hood/grille shell pushed in. I think I can hook on 
to it with a ratchet strap and pull it back out.

I'm not sure if the car is physically strong enough to take the wheel from you, 
but I'm pretty sure the steering wheel is still mechanically connected to the 
front wheels.

[MBZ] Battery repair with epson salt

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

I have a rather large stack of old batteries.  I thought about trying to 
recondition them.  I have run across all sorts of videos online about 
people doing this with Epsom salt.  Basically they say to drain the acid 
out, mix the salt into heated water, then fill cells back up and charge 
it on a slow charge for 24-48 hours.  Anybody every tried this?

As stupid an idea as I've ever seen.

First it was fuel by wire, then brake by wire.

Steer by wire is next.

Re: [MBZ] OT: antiX linux

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Turns out I was wrong, this machine only had 1GB of RAM. I started with 8 
machines each having 3GB, I'd forgotten that I ended with 4 machines having 
4GB, 1 with 2GB and the rest with 1GB because I didn't have them all in the 
same place at the same time.
Its MUCH peppier with 4GB. Runs the fan less and so far doesn't seem to have 
used any swap space. Last night I was trying to write in Google Drive while 
watching YouTube and it'd run out of RAM and freeze up, no problem with that 
now. antiX only seems to see 3GB but its good enough.I think when I get home 
I'm going to pull the SSD out of the PC I almost never use and try it in this...

Run - yes. But you better have a swap partition of reasonable size
if you open a big image in the GIMP though.  2G for GIMP editing
is kinda tight.  Unless you use an old GIMP.

Ugh.  I knew there was electric "power steering", but I hadn't
notice any where the mechanical link was gone...

I wonder how much longer before it will be unlawful to drive a car
that does NOT steer and brake via electronic nannies...

Re: [MBZ] Battery Chargers

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

I have a 6A Schauer 6/12 V charger that my mom and I got for Dad with 
Regal stamps about 50 yrs ago.  It works great.  I have cut off and 
resoldered both cords and both clamps.  (Dad liked to wrap the cords 
tight around the charger)  It has been sun into with tractors and 
straightened, but it works like a champ.   Takes forever to charge a grp 
49 batt'ry.


I have another Schauer that is 10 or 12 amp that is about 30 yrs old.  
It works great also.

Jim Cathey via Mercedes 
September 14, 2017 at 8:19 PM
Too-rapid recharging is not conducive to battery longevity. I believe
that's the big reason that the 8-10A top rate is so common.

My Shauer (?) automatic charger, which I use ALL the time, is still 
working

great. After at least 25 years. Sears, I think. Wish I could find
another one.

No reconditioning, no burst charging modes.

Re: [MBZ] Meter on Amazon ? Good value?

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

>
> What do you think it means ... 60A/600A ±(3% +6) ". What is the +6???


Standard rating type for digital systems.  It's telling you that the
accuracy is a percentage of the range the meter is set to, PLUS some fixed
number of LSD counts it may be off by.  +/- 3%, AND +/- 6 counts in the LSD
regardless of whatever
percentage that might represent.

what does the "4000 count" refer to
>

Also classic.  In the early years, NIX-II (nixie) tube days, the carry bit
out of the last column of the logic
was interpreted as a "1".  (Special [cheaper] display element, separate
lamp, etc.)  This became the
1/2 digit in a precision spec., and was the norm for years.  Later, Fluke
(others?) widened the MSD's
range from 0-1 to 0-3, resulting in a max count of 3999 (4000 discrete
values from the counter chain).
I think they call that a 3/4 digit or something like that.

It's just another way to tell you the breadth of a range.

I just tested out my Fluke 83, and its top count is not 3999, it's 4095.
Not very much different, but telling.
Clearly it's now binary inside and not BCD, unlike early digital meters.
It's possible that the "4000 count"
label has always meant this, I don't have any middle-aged digital meters.

[MBZ] Is there anybody there?

[Fred Moir via Mercedes]

‘Is there anybody there?’ said the Traveller,
   Knocking on the moonlit door;
And his horse in the silence champed the grasses
   Of the forest’s ferny floor:
And a bird flew up out of the turret,
   Above the Traveller’s head:
And he smote upon the door again a second time;
   ‘Is there anybody there?’ he said.
But no one descended to the Traveller;
   No head from the leaf-fringed sill
Leaned over and looked into his grey eyes,
   Where he stood perplexed and still.
But only a host of phantom listeners
   That dwelt in the lone house then
Stood listening in the quiet of the moonlight
   To that voice from the world of men.
