[MBZ] Deja vu all over again....

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

Anybody else getting a strong sense the FAA and Boeing and repeating the Nixon 
Administration?   Boeing rather the MD, but there isn't really any difference 
there

I can remember the late 60's and early 70's when the FAA decided they couldn't 
afford to do all the inspections and development oversight and so "designated" 
aircraft company engineers to oversee their own work and certify products as 
airworthy.

On top of that, safety issues that had an impact on sales or prices were 
handled by "gentlemen's agreements" rather that airworthyness directives -- 
with the result that several totally preventable accidents killed quite a few 
people.

They say everything that goes out of style comes back eventually, but this is 
one I'd just as soon not see again!

If you can't find parts for your Finnie's fuel pump, you could try new:

Re: [MBZ] Crazy Day with the Finnie

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

Corroded connectors or a bad fuel pump relay will do the same thing.

Had this issue with the TE, bad rear fuel pump would cause stalling and 
starting issues.  Replaced it and all is well.  Not really an option on a Finny 
though, I'd guess the fuel pumps are getting a bit hard to find.

Re: [MBZ] White smoke on start up

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

White smoke on start-up is unburned fuel going out the pipe.  If it started 
normally and didn't have a noticeable miss, I'd guess a weak glow plugCould 
also be a bad injector or low compression, but both of those give other 
symptoms.

Re: [MBZ] Crazy Day with the Finnie

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Absolutely - there is a silver lining!

It starts and stops intermittently, and is definitely not coming up to speed. I 
could hear and feel this when I was under the car. This could be:

Galled impeller
Clogged supply line or screen
Bad bearing(s)
Bad brushes

There are plenty of sources for rebuild kits, which appear to run in the $75 
range, which isn’t bad at all. Since it does run, albeit poorly, I’m hoping the 
electrical parts are OK as pretty much anything else can be dealt with short of 
a bum impeller, which is rare based on the research I’ve done so far.

Since I’m stoked about getting started on the reassembly of the interior, I’ll 
be getting an early start tomorrow and tearing into the pump right away. Worst 
case scenario if I have to wait on a rebuild kit, I can still work on the 
interior….

Well the good news is that the headliner turned out great!

From my experience, those pumps can run and appear fine but not put out the 
correct volume of fuel. They are supposed to put out  so many cubic centimeters 
per 15 seconds. I don’t know what the figures should be on your car.

[MBZ] Crazy Day with the Finnie

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Went to the upholstery shop to pick up the finnie from getting its new 
headliner. Turned out very, very nice and I was really excited to get it home 
and begin the reassembly process.

Drive the 30 or so miles home. At a three way stop about two blocks from the 
house the car dies. Hmm. With the engine off and the key on, I notice I don’t 
hear the fuel pump. Poop.

Youngest son swings by with a strap and tows me home. Get the car in the garage 
and crawl under it after turning the key. I can hear the pump going on and off, 
running in fits and starts, so at least it’s not locked up.

First thing tomorrow morning I’ll be dropping the pump to crack it open and see 
what’s up. Hopefully nothing major.

Can’t complain, this is twice now the car has had a problem and it was either 
in the driveway after a drive home or within a block or two of the house. Only 
bummer is that is slows down my reassembly plans.

Re: [MBZ] Bad trailer situation

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

There is a trailer place in the next town over that says the have one assuming 
the farm part place measured it correctly. If they do have one I should be able 
to replace it fairly easily. The first time it happened was on the passenger 
side which had a blowout and was continued to drive for a while which beat that 
axle to hell. I’m am fairly sure that is what caused the first time. This time 
was on the wheel that hit that huge pothole. I’m convinced that caused this 
issue. I could be wrong but it sure was a big coincidence.

Re: [MBZ] Bad trailer situation

[G Mann via Mercedes]

From your description of past and present issues, I would surmise you have
an axle alignment issue. Possibly the spring mounts are twisted and axles
are not tracking each other, so, wheel forces are absorbed at the bearing.

Worth checking once you get it sorted presently. I suggest removing rear
wheel from other side of the trailer and towing it home as a single axle
trailer. Or, to somewhere you can get a new axle. Any RV shops along your
route? They usually have axles in stock.

[MBZ] Bad trailer situation

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

So I’m currently in Paragould, AR with an appointment tomorrow morning to meet 
with a customer, then headed down south to pickup a car for Curley. After 
driving thru the Ozark mountains for 5 hours about 20 miles from my destination 
I observed the left rear wheel of the trailer depart. I located the wheel but 
in the process it took out the spindle. Crap. On this side of the trailer about 
a year ago hauling a 140 in Louisiana I hit a huge pothole on that side. It was 
a hard enough hit that it bent that back rim a little bit the tire was 
undamaged. Ever since then the front axle on that side seems slightly bent. 
Anyway the back wheel that was slightly bent came off. I checked everything 
before I left and all was good. I had to replace this axle a couple of years 
ago because the same sort of thing happened but in that case the bearing must 
have froze up and eventually somehow broke off the cotter pin and backed it the 
castle nut. This axle is the style that does not have a cotter pin but instead 
the metal clip thing that is supposed to hold the nut in. I really don’t trust 
this setup. 

So I called around to some RV and trailer places around here but nobody can get 
it. I called a tire and mechanic shop close by and they said bring it on by 
they could take care of it. We this discovered the bottom of the spindle was 
ground off. They sent me do a farm part store that sold axles and said they 
could put in on. Went there they did not have one my referred me to a couple of 
places in Jonesboro. I called the first one and they said they had it but not 
sure they could get me in tomorrow. They are supposed to call me I’m the 
morning. The other place was not sure either. The first place was going to be 
$2xx for the axle and $300 or so to install it. Was going to be over $500. So 
after thinking about it for a bit, I have replaced these before and it is 
literally just 2 sets of u bolts on each side holding it on. If they have the 
right axle I can just go to HF and buy a floor jack and do it in the parking 
lot. Shouldn’t take more than an hour I wouldn’t think. Then i can head on down 
and pickup the car.  If I can’t locate an axle the other alternative is to limp

Johns Island where I live was a center of civil rights activity back

old VW bus and hauled black kids to school in Charleston when there 
was no way for them to get a high school education.  That old bus is 
still around, a coupla years ago the hatch of it was taken off and it 
is on display in the AA museum in DC now.  The rest of the bus has 
been sitting rotting in a family member's back yard for ages.  
Yesterday it was loaded on a transporter to be taken to a Smithsonian 
facility in PA to get "stabilized" (rust issues) so it can also be 
displayed, probably back here when there is a place for it.  here's 
some info https://www.preservationsociety.org/blog/2015/08/31/testt/


Anyway, the transporter was coming from Amelia Island and had some 
cool cars in it.  One of them they had to unload to get the bus in the 
trailer, it was (I think) a 34 Packard.

If you can see this picture the old bus is in the background.

[MBZ] New Parts 83 240D

[Michael Esh via Mercedes]

I installed the new engine mounts today. The old ones looked like they were in 
good shape except they were giving almost no vertical support. The new mounts 
were almost an inch higher than the old ones and compressed down about 1/2 as 
much as the old ones when installed. 
The new ones are supposed to be Lemforder. They were not in a box, have what 
looks like an S and about  6 or 7 numbers scattered around on one side of the 
rubber. It also looks like a someone wire brushed off a spot about the size of 
a nickel on each one.  

Mike

Yeah I saw the watermark on the pics. Probably got it for $500 or something 
after it was trashed for some reason

[MBZ] OT This is kinda cool

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Johns Island where I live was a center of civil rights activity back in 
the 60s.  I know some of the old guys who were actively involved in 
these things, son and grandson of one of the pioneers who acquired an 
old VW bus and hauled black kids to school in Charleston when there was 
no way for them to get a high school education.  That old bus is still 
around, a coupla years ago the hatch of it was taken off and it is on 
display in the AA museum in DC now.  The rest of the bus has been 
sitting rotting in a family member's back yard for ages.  Yesterday it 
was loaded on a transporter to be taken to a Smithsonian facility in PA 
to get "stabilized" (rust issues) so it can also be displayed, probably 
back here when there is a place for it.  here's some info 
https://www.preservationsociety.org/blog/2015/08/31/testt/


Anyway, the transporter was coming from Amelia Island and had some cool 
cars in it.  One of them they had to unload to get the bus in the 
trailer, it was (I think) a 34 Packard.

If you can see this picture the old bus is in the background.
