Before you spend $$$ for someone else to adjust the valves, buy a Glow fuse (60 Amp) from Rusty or from a Stealership and put it in. If that and waiting 30 sec after the light goes out to hit the starter does not work, then get a couple of 14mm wrenches and a feeler gauge that goes down to .006 and set the valves yourself. It is good to know how to do it. One 14 mm wrench needs to be thin. You can get cheapies and grind one thinner. You don't have to have the special set they show in the book. I have been setting MB DIesel valves since 1971, and I have never owned a set.
