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 white smoke that turned gray and then black and then fully running. You don't use much battery power when it's partially firing, each round gets the pre-chamber hotter until the fuel burns properly. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
