"Running the fuel pump a few times to displace the vapor with cooler fuel solves the problem" Is this the solution I've read about running some kind of switch to the cabin? Darren Marshall, Co-Founder doejo.com doejo.com/space bowtruss.com aquanautbeer.com > On Sep 26, 2015, at 2:17 PM, clay

Re: [MBZ] This might be a decent buy

It sort of does in the early r107 (D-jet M117) The system is susceptible to heat soaking of the fuel lines after driving which causes a phase change in the petrol. As a gas, the petrol is far too compressible and unable to flow properly/diffuse as it piddles out of the injectors. Hard or no s

Couple of additional pics I believe this was a family owned car down in OK. I don't have the full story yet but I'll dig it up, it has "the original" German plates, but I don't know how accurate that is. It's supposed that the daughter barn garaged it for like 10 years, and had been driving it

The Zeniths are a piece of cake to work with. You just have to follow the instructions to. The. Letter. I love the M130 with the Zenith carbs. Had this setup in several cars, W114, W108, and they ran great. The W114, a 1970 250C, would pull stumps and easily blow larger displacement cars away

Re: [MBZ] This might be a decent buy

Anyone familiar with 108 vapor lock issues? As far back (at least) as the 111 (1960) MB used a return flow system, to keep cooler Benzin flowing to the carbs. This helps to minimize problems. First step is to make sure the valve that controls the return flow to the tank is working properly

THe M180 and M130 are durable and relatively easy to service. On the 220Sb, M180, even though the oil filter came off the bottom of the engine, and was made to drop out below, I could change the filter from the topside. There is that much accessibility. Everything on an inline engine is acc
