Re: [MBZ] Vacuum frustration -- solved
So I woke up dis mohnin wif da answer in my haid: I took apart the vac pump yesterday, put everything back together properly (though it was proper as it was). I noticed that I could see the diaphragm screw through a little hole in the front part that holds the check valves, right there in the middle. Did not make an impression on my conscious awareness at that point. So during the night it struck me that there should be no hole there, I guess my brain reprocessed the process and came up with that little flash of insight. I think what happened was that when I first checked it out a few weeks back, that screw had backed out and the diaphragm was not really moving. (The loc-tite didn't I guess). I tightened it back, still didn't get vac, got all new parts and rebuilt it, still didn't get vac, redid it again yesterday, checked the cam and rocker/roller, still didn't get vac. The screw must have pounded that little hole out, nice little round punch in that pot metal. It sucks and blows, back and forth. So I guess off to the junkyard tomorrow or maybe some JBWeld, see if that does the trick. --R ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] Vacuum frustration -- solved
When you do that, take some brake parts cleaner and make absolutely positive that the screw hole for the diaphragm screw is completely free of oil.

Re: [MBZ] Injection pump 1984 300D
loping slightly at idle is almost certainly (esp. if at HOT idle, like after coming off the highway) the rack damper bolt. Hard start could be a bad glow plug or, more likely, the valves need to be adjusted. I would definitely check these things first.

Re: [MBZ] OT: I hate small engines
Another thing to watch is for deterioration (mostly hardening and shrinking) of rubber parts. This can make small engines very hart to start when the rubber hose between the carb and cylinder gets loose, for instance -- this has been a problem on both my Techumse and Briggs engines (mostly old ones). Premium makes them hard to start was well, but they then don't knock under load, so it's a matter of which is more of a problem for you. My push mower gets pretty hard use up in the back lot around the grapes since that's old pasture full of fescue and I don't get it mowed often enough. With mid-grade or premium, the mower doesn't knock, runs cooler, and uses less fuel (and oil, it's always used more than I like), but it can be a pain to get running sometimes.

In 1978, at Sondrestrom (now Kangerlussuaq), Greenland, the Danish fuels guys told me one day that we (the base) had a HUGE oversupply of 145 avgas that would likely go bad long before it could be used in the normal manner (in aircraft).

Re: [MBZ] OT: I hate small engines
If you know a police officer personally he might have dipsticks to test for ethanol. I would mix small quantities of gas and water, shake them up thoroughly, let the mixture set and separate, suction off the gas with a bulb, and test the water and another sample of gas with dipsticks since we don't know if the dipstick will work in gasoline. That way you might be able to test Amoco Premium and other premium gases for ethanol. I've used Amoco premium for years and never had corrosion problems with my equipment (generators, pressure washers, lawnmowers, weed wackers, etc.) Amoco Premium was the best years ago because it didn't have lead. It's antiknock properties were achieve by a more expensive process that reduced it to nearly pure (octane?); or at least that was what was claimed. http://www.alcopro.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGYStore_Code=ACategory_Code=DIPSTICK-DRUG-TEST Gerry From: Dwight E.

Wait for it to settle, and if there's alcohol in there, you'll see the line between the 'water' and the 'gas' has gone up. They make test cylinders that you fill to one line with water, fill to another line with gas, and directly read the %age of alcohol after the shake and settle routine.

Re: [MBZ] W123 orphan wiper relay
WIPER PROBLEM SOLVED! I read the Electric Troubleshooting Manual for Models 300D/CD/TD 1983 - 1985. It is pitched toward a novice tech with a 3rd grade reading proficiency. In other words, I can just about understand it! The manual informed me that the front AND rear wiper systems in the 300TD are BOTH fused to no. 6 (red 16 amp). I was going to replace the broken rear wiper motor (literally - it had split in half!) as well as the nonfunctional REAR wiper relay anyway, so I was hoping maybe this was the cause of my front wiper problem too. After I did the rear wiper and relay R/R (not a difficult job), I tested the rear wipers. They worked without blowing a fuse - YEAH! Then I tested the front wipers, which have been inoperative since 6/2 while I have been flailing around in utter futility searching for a nonexistent relay, replacing a perfectly fine combination switch (three times) and going through a six pack of red fuses. Turns out the broken rear wiper motor was indeed shorting out the system and blowing the red no. 5 fuse every time I turned on the front wipers. Now I have wipers both F R, and can at least attempt to pass D.C. inspection with some semblance of hope. Double yeah!! The catalog number for this SUPERB practical manual is S-1243-123. Its subtitle should be an idiot's guide to really obvious electrical circuitry in your 1983 - 1985 turbodiesel. Thanks to all for your help.

[MBZ] Ethanol WAS: I hate small engines
I think you folks are spreading BS about E10 gasoline. I have been using it for 30+ years with no problems in vehicles and small engines.Small engines in most cases don't have any fuel screen. They just dump any dirt right into the carb, and that makes them run bad. So lets blame the ethanol in the gasoline. How many of you used to dump Heet into your tank? Whaddya think that is? It ain't sugar syrup! The GASOLINE available now is garbage compared to 30-40 years ago. in every small engine, you need to either run the carb dry or add Stabil if it is going to sit more than a week or 2. I run my chainsaw out of gas before I store it. If I have to dump gas out of it, I start it and let the saw run out of gas after emptying the tank. Same for every small engine I have. My chainsaw is at least 20 years old, and I took it to the shop this spring because I twisted the bar, so I had him sharpen the chain and clean out the tank and carb while it was there. That was the FIRST time it has ever been worked on. I had a 30 year old lawn boy that was never worked on. I finally broke down and bought a new one because they wouldn't sell me a new bag attachment for the old one. Even though the old one was 2 cycle, it ALWAYS started, because I ran it out of gas each fall. Guess what, the new one does not start as easily as the old one did. Want a briggs? OK, I think they are POS, but I have a chipper with a briggs. It is 12-14 years old. Same thing. Always starts, but I have had to take the bowl off twice because of dirt. The dust from chipping always seems to get into the tank, and then to the carb. This spring I had to buy a new bowl gasket because the original one came out in pieces. The guy at the dealer suggested putting a small inline screen in the gas line. So simple, why didn't I think of that? probly because when i was learning engines, the only fuel screens to be found were the car type inline can filters, and those are too big for lawnmowers. NOW they sell small filters. SO go ahead, and believe ethanol messes up your carb. Pigs can fly too. And Mercedes get 50 to 60 MPG, just look on fleabay. Yes, my lawn mower ash been acting up too since ethanol. I spray a few shots of carb cleaner in every tank of fuel.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Mac Leopard on PC?
Unix, however, as you will know if you've ever used it as a command line implementation, is a main frame OS of the old style -- cryptic commands, a hangover from when using whole words would eat up your disk or memory space, No. Try a 110 baud ASR-33 teletype for I/O. Slow, and noisy, and a real beast to type on with long-throw buttons and absolutely no key rollover. (If you attempt to type too fast it will jam your fingers.) I spent time that way in the beginning, and all the terseness of traditional Unix is absolutely understandable (and forgivable) to me. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
