Attaboy! How many KW is it? A couple years ago, I bought a Westinghouse 9500KW
gas generator after we lost power for nearly a day after the big 1’+ snowstorm
(western Oregon Standards), and it has sat idle waiting for the next one. I’ve
exercised it a few times, and it’s ready to go for this com
There’s a 2003 ML500 with 191Kmi on it that came up on Facebook Marketplace
yesterday for $1700. Ad said that it runs and drives great!

I have the wrenches and feeler gauges, and a bunch of nitrile gloves. I never
got rid of them since I knew that I would eventually own another Mercedes
Diesel. All of my spare fuel filters and MB Diesel items that I bought for the
last 1977 pea green 240D are in a plastic toolbox on the bottom s
I have done one valve adjustment sequence before on a 1981 300CD back in 2006.
Before I adjusted them, they were so far out of adjustment that the car
wouldn’t even start! Afterward, I was able to get it started. I know that this

I love doing door checks too, so you’re outta luck! :) Anyone up for a valve
adjustment? injector replacement and return lines? Oil changes? Engine mount

Attaboy!

it runs OK! I’m sure it’ll run much better once I adjust the valves and check
the adjustment of the throttle linkages which are probably n
And Wilton, it doesn’t have a hole in the roof either!
