Re: [MBZ] Barn find 1976 Mercedes 300D and 220D
It probably would have started immediately but the connection at the bleeder was leaking so it was sucking air. I knew I was not getting it bled properly and suspected a leak somewhere but could not tell where till after it ran. Tomorrow I will try to get the 220D to run. I did try it afterwards but my battery was too low. It turned over but sounded like it did not have any compression. I tried it again and that time it did sound like it might try to fire so I have the battery charging and will try it tomorrow. Worse case I have an engine for it but would prefer to get this one going. The story with it was they had it rebuilt and within a short period of time it started making noise. So who knows.
