You assumed correctly. It is a transplant from a 116 I got from Mr. Striplin.

If it were der falfe or das falfe, it would be die falfes. The allusion to the distaff side, however, seems fitting.

Re: [MBZ] 300SD hard to start
It's Die (one would be Das). I need to do that - adchust falfes. No. I did never hand prime the thing. Why?.

Re: [MBZ] 300SD hard to start
Check for bad hoses on the suction side of the lift pump. Watch the clear fuel filter while it's running -- a stream of small bubbles coming in and going out of the filter is bad -- indicates a suction side leak. If you have the original German hoses with fabric cover, replace them with standard fuel line, they are surely leaking. You are getting air into the IP, and it will be VERY hard to start from lack of fuel in the pressure chambers on start up, where the pressure leaks off badly anyway. It's also possible to have leaks at the pressure valve holder seals on the IP -- this allows fuel to leak out on top of the pump while running, and air to leak into the feed chamber while stopped, hence air in the IP when you try to start. If you get copious white smoke while cranking and lots of smoke cold, adjust the valves, you have low compression.

Re: [MBZ] 300SD hard to start
Thank you all. I unlocked the priming pump and diesel is pouring out the top when I stroke it. So the verdict is in: a new priming pump and a falfes adjust job.
