Allan,
The motor may?use an external capacitor mounted near it,
which could be your problem.? If the fan motor has 3 wires and runs at 208 to
240 volts, follow each wire until it leads you to a capacitor.? Take the
capacitor with you for testing.?

Absolutely, I use it in all my cars, including the 5 speed auto in my

The US version of the 280E had twin cams and fuel injection. Make sure your
Euro has the same.
I would not want a carbureted version, which was often hard to tune. Some
280s were also made in the 116 chassis. Both very solid.

Lately I've found the vent tube (the flat tube between the valve
