The clutch is replaceable, but you have to take the starter off to get to it. It's part of the drive gear. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to:

Yup, if you quit before it starts it gets progressively harder on each retry. Give it everything it's got on that one try. Curt Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Fri, Feb 12, 2021 at 6:30 PM, Peter Frederick via Mercedes wrote: The real key to cold starting to crank until it's actually

Don't forget to put the go pedal to the floor and crank until it starts or quits. My 83 240D would start pretty well down to about -10F. That first winter I drove that car we had a week of -20F every frickin night. That was when I figured out that a 400W inverter would power the block heater...

When I do that on my W116 300SD, the starter disengages after about 10 seconds and seems to just spin free. So it must have a weak solenoid? Allan Peter Frederick via Mercedes writes: > The real key to cold starting to crank until it's actually running, if you > stop you won't have enough

The real key to cold starting to crank until it's actually running, if you stop you won't have enough battery to try again without charging it. I started my 300D a few year back with a weak engine (420k miles) doing that, it took about a minute before it was actually running on it's own. Lotta

My $400 240D I bought has been sitting outside not started for over a week. It is currently 13 outside and for grins I wanted to see if it would start. I did not figure it would but I glowed it once then as soon as light went out I started cranking it. It started hitting and slowest all
