Re: [MBZ] Sort of OT Car totals
Heating the spark plug electrodes is an old two stroke trick. Two stroke plugs get oil fouled with semi burned oil carbon, then get further fouled while trying to start, using lots of choke, and prime. Heating the plugs helps burn off the semi carbon residue and that allows the electrons to make spark... Bob's yer Unkle.. Glad the trick still works.

I imagine its a thing that gets done but I've never heard of anybody doing it on a snowmobile. Anyway today I hit the points with more Deoxit and shaved them a little with a file, then cleaned the shavings out with discount electronics cleaner, then more deoxit, a little more file and more cleaner. The points are super annoying to get to. Take the exhaust out, the recoil and its cup out and then you can see the points through slots in the flywheel (technically the magneto). Anyway with that done I got nice bright snaps on the plugs but still no start so I pulled each carb out of its boot but left the controls connected, and cleaned the bowls and jets. Mikuni carbs are super easy to work on. STILL wouldn't run. It'd start if I squirted premix past the carbs but it'd only run for a second or three. While the carbs were out I proved the fuel pump was pumping. So as a last ditch effort I pulled the plugs and heated the electrodes until they glowed, stuffed it all back together, primed it once more and it fired up and stayed running... Heating the electrodes is a trick I was told by a Triumph motorcycle mechanic. Its never worked for me before. I'm not sure it actually did anything now but whatever, the machine ran. I drove it all around the yard, it scoots as good as a 340cc with a cleated track ever does. Now, do I sell it or register it as a vintage sled and ride it, or both?

I think avoiding computers is just a "I'm afraid of new fangled..." It's not hard to hook up a laptop and look at an ECU.

Once you've got the computer it's way easier to troubleshoot a lot of things rather than just throwing parts at the problem. Think of the laptop as another wrench...

I plugged them in and charged them and both are working, one is 16GB and
the other is 32GB. The 32GB had a lot of music on it but I am reloading
with some other stuff, it is syncing now and appears to be doing OK.
Kinda surprises me that iTunes recognizes it and is working with it.
The 16GB has stuff on it too, I might not fool with it since I have more
stuff on the 32.
I ordered some lightning adapters and some of the 30pin adapters they
need, fairly cheap on Amazon. I need to figure out some good adapters
for this 211 and 163 so I can play it through the head units. The 211
has some bluetooth thing ("Funkwerks") wired into the head unit but it
doesn't appear to work. There are other ones out there that work, I'll
have to look into that. Not sure about the 163 head unit. I have a
bluetooth-> RF adapter, maybe that will be the best thing to use since
it is simple and is sorta OK.
Anyway, kinda fun to resurrect old tech.

Re: [MBZ] Sort of OT Car totals
I should know that you guys would be enablers. I spent yesterday getting snowmobiles running. The '98 and '91 Arctic Cats both fired up relatively easily. The 91 was stuck, I didn't run it last year and is must have had a little condensation in it and it was wicked cold yesterday. I put an electric heater on it for half an hour or so and it loosened up pretty good. The 79 Polaris won't go, spark is iffy. I cleaned the points but apparently haven't gotten them clean enough, it'll pop but won't stay running. I'll file them some more I guess. Snowmobile points are way harder to replace than car points. They live behind the flywheel and are powered by magneto so they're hard to clean/test/replace.

Re: [MBZ] Newer Diesel MB SUV
Bought my then-wife a 164 ML350 dizzel, I forget the year now, 2014 maybe ? It was a CPO off lease, 20ksome miles. It was loads of fun, massive torque. She’s still driving it and no problems far as I know. I liked it well enough the few times I drove it. I think it was getting high 20s for fuel mileage. Test drove a GL350 at the same time and it was noticeably less quick but ok. I liked it well enough but it was too big for her needs and abilities. The newer dizzels require the blue pee juice which is not a big issue but another thing to deal with. The ML seems a reasonable size for most needs and is quite capable unless you need to haul a family or a lot of stuff. --FT Sent from iPhone > On Jan 31, 2021, at 10:31 AM, Donald Snook via Mercedes > wrote: > > My wife is considering a MB diesel SUV.

[MBZ] Newer Diesel MB SUV
My wife is considering a MB diesel SUV. I was surprised to learn that MB is not making any more diesel cars/SUVs (at least not in USA) anymore. The most recent I could find was 2016. I was just searching MB diesel SUV and found several. They are ML, GLK (small SUV that looks like a roller skate), GL, and GLE. I think the conventional wisdom on newer MB is they are very nice as long as they under warranty. I’m wondering if anyone has experience with any of these MB diesel SUV 2011-2015. Donald H.

Re: [MBZ] Sort of OT Car totals
At just over 50, I've bought 14 cars so far, still own six, five are MB cars. I've only owned one American car, a '67 Plymouth VIP, when I was in college. Most of the rest are German and Japanese, with an Alpha Romeo mixed in while I lived in Bella Napoli. Owning a muscle car (the VIP) was a blast, that was a red coupe, burned almost as much oil as gasoline. Actually could take a corner very well, and man was that 'go pedal' addicting. Somehow I never got a ticket in that car. Max Dillon Charleston SC Jan 30, 2021 5:06:22 PM Donald Snook via Mercedes : > With the addition of the Kaleb 240D, I added up all the cars I have had.
