Re: [MBZ] Slow to shut off W123

Well the stop lever is limited in travel by the valve cover, the shutoff is internal to the engine. I suppose I could unhook the linkage and see what happens. I also wonder if it is because of the amount of fuel I am delivering. -Rolf Craig McCluskey wrote: On Thu, 11 Jun 2009 00:01:19

Because the drains don't appear to be there does not mean they are not supposed to be there. They could be plugged up with bondo, or rustproofing or some other combination of gunk. The bottom of the door WAS built with drain holes. Door rust generally starts around the drains. At 02:42 PM

Re: [MBZ] 1994 S320

A good 140 is a fabulous car, though a '94 is not quite the best of the bunch. I assume at this point the evaporator and head gasket have been done at least once, but check the records. Also, check the harness. They fare a little better in an S320, with that small engine in a big bay, but

Kaleb will tell you those things are better than electricity. To be honest, I haven't seen one of those in heavy use out here, or with anything resembling high mileage. Think by 04 the injector problems were mostly gone, but am not positive about that. Personally, I do not care for them. On Thu,
