Re: [MBZ] Speaking of not starting

Gee, you guys must "pump" to hard. I have two 617s that I've had for 20 + years. One has had the pump replaced with the new style while the other still has the original white, screw down pump. I always tightened the screw pump carefully and tight enough to be secure and sealed. The one just plai

Well it is possible he does need the lift pump, if the valves are bad on that car. But the kit for the lift pump is only about $12. I had to spend about that much again for the special size metric socket, and you need a couple orings not in the kit. When the transfer pump crapped out on the

Re: [MBZ] Speaking of not starting

Can you send a picture? It sounds like the old type which has to be screwed closed when done pumping or you can get air leaking in. The alternator sounds like the bearings are worn and loose letting the fan hit body. Take the belts off and see if you can wiggle the shaft around. If you can you
