Re: [MBZ] Help! I want my 300D back! 380SL
You're jumping the pins in the socket the relay plugs into? If so, then you have power to the socket, and both relays are bad. Break down and buy a new one from Rusty. If you don't have power to the socket, then the problem is up stream, and you need the circuit diagram, if it's an '82 to '85, pin 7 should be hot, and pin 8 powers the pump. The diagram is on the 107 CD.

[MBZ] 107 cd set? Braingears?
I tried posting this earlier as a funny, but I still don't have answers. Is thery anything like braingerars running now with the 107 cds? I need help troubleshooting the fuel pump electrics on an 85 380SL, or at least a wiring diagram if anyone has a cd set. TIA Does anyone know if there is a temp switch that is intended to cut the fuel if the car overheats? That might send a false signal to the relay. (prior message) MY 300D is being held hostage until I can get this gasser fixed! Intermittent random stalling on Daughter's SL started last fall. Was ok warm, but sometimes would not start when hot. Listmembers suggested the fuel pump and or FP relay. I changed the pump and finally got a used FP relay and in the interim, I did a Cathey resolder of the old FP relay. Went out just now and plugged them in. No Go, with either relay. FP still runs with a jumper between 30 and 87a terminals. FP does not run with either relay. This leads me to suspect a bad feed into the relay, rather than a bad relay. Can anyone find a wiring diagram for 1985 380SL so I can check this out? Any other ideas? I am tempted to install a manual FP switch in the interim time. Then I could get my 300D back and she could drive the SL until I get this fixed.

Re: [MBZ] was diesel, now Motorcycles for Bob
Co-worker (actually, the supervisor of the folks who run buses for us) had a Pacific Coast before he went back to Harley (2006 Electra Glide, purchased new). He rode his all over, two up. And by all over I mean from Iowa to Washington State, from Iowa to Florida, from Iowa to Maine, etc. He has told me several times he wished he had tucked it into the back corner of his garage instead of selling it. ... We are not talking a poser sort of biker here, but the real deal, cross country w/ a tent strapped on the back biker. His two car garage has two sides -- on the left is a bar and relaxation area, on the right is a motorcycle repair shop (complete with hydraulic motorcycle lift). Cool guy -- he even has a functioning urinal on one wall. When I was looking to move up to something larger, the Pacific Coast was his first suggestion. Just turned out they wanted too much for them around here. On Mon, May 12, 2008 at 7:28 PM, Curt Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The scooter on steroids?

try taking the old seal to a good bearing supply in a city. Around here it is motion industries, although i am not sure they meet the "good" classification anymore.

The engine and other parts are worth 10x the asking price. It's an SE - fairly rare and very pricey parts-wise. As I think B1 pointed out, a distributor cap is worth a small fortune alone.

Tom Hargrave wrote: > > Honda does not support their older machines. They always used to. Back in 1986 my boss was bragging that you could get parts for anything Honda ever made. I went to the parts department and looked up a frame for a 1955 scooter, and sure enough it was listed with a price. When I asked Joe about it, he told me that I might have to wait for them to make it and ship it over from Japan, but I'd get one eventually if I ordered it. Worst thing I ever did was order some spokes for a rare Honda moped. The transmission was sort of enclosed in a huge rear hub, almost as big as the rim, and the spokes were only about 2 1/2" long. I waited about 6-7 months, but I got them. Probably made to order. Think they were about $1 each.

I had an SV650S in my garage until Saturday. My friend kept it there all winter. I rode it a couple times, real fun bike. I'm absolutely FRANTIC to find a tach mount oil seal for my CB900f. Anybody know of a place that might have hard to get Honda parts? Its amazing since apparently this is a quite common leak. So far AFAIK the only place to get this seal is in a $170 full gasket set...

I had been working on restoring a 67 Kawa Avenger, got what a beautiful bike it would have been. Sold it to buy a parts W123. Drum brakes are scary. I've had a variety of newish bikes, vf500, vfr750, cbr600, sv650. Sv650 was by far the best. A little to small and the suspension was a weak up front but it was just plain fun. The VFR was a great bike but a little to heavy. Still would love to have an older BMW or cafe racer. Disc brakes would be a requirement. -Rolf - Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.

Re: [MBZ] was diesel, now Motorcycles for Bob/NOT!
I had an SV650S in my garage until Saturday. My friend kept it there all winter. I rode it a couple times, real fun bike. I'm absolutely FRANTIC to find a tach mount oil seal for my CB900f. Anybody know of a place that might have hard to get Honda parts? Its amazing since apparently this is a quite common leak. So far AFAIK the only place to get this seal is in a $170 full gasket set... I hate to spend $170 for a 1" diameter seal. -Curt Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 16:53:17 -0400 From: Rolf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] was diesel, now Motorcycles for Bob/NOT!

I had been working on restoring a 67 Kawa Avenger, got what a beautiful bike it would have been. Sold it to buy a parts W123. Drum brakes are scary. I've had a variety of newish bikes, vf500, vfr750, cbr600, sv650. Sv650 was by far the best. A little to small and the suspension was a weak up front but it was just plain fun. The VFR was a great bike but a little to heavy. Still would love to have an older BMW or cafe racer. Disc brakes would be a requirement. -Rolf - Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.

Re: [MBZ] Memo to Kleb and anyone else with driveshaft vibe
On all the ones I have looked at, the u joint has 2 lines that point somewhat toward each other. The front end has 1 line. The 1 line should be centered between the other 2. I guess there are several positions it could be installed with the 1 line falling in between the 2 lines, but I guess you want it in the most centered position.

Re: [MBZ] was diesel, now Motorcycles for Bob/NOT!
I believe the Silverwings were 550 CC and it was a water cooled V engine. They also produced a turbocharged version of the bike. The 750 CC engine of the late 70s & early 80s was the upright 4 cylinder version of the earlier 750 CC engine. They were great machines but I had to re-synch my carbs every 1000 miles.

Usually cable operated double leading shoe front and rod operated single leading shoe rear. The servo action of a double leading shoe brake takes a bit of getting used to. I'm glad my old CB200 had a cable operated disk on the front. Lightweight, powerful and reliable.

Re: [MBZ] was diesel, now Motorcycles for Bob/NOT!
You know you may have me on that one. I know it is common to change the hoses to better more modern style but you may be right that they were in regard to disk brakes on the bikes. I had a real interest in old bikes for a while but that was quite a time back. I had a 79 Goldwing for a few years and read a whole lot of the British motorcycle magazines devoted to the Classic bikes.

[MBZ] Memo to Kleb and anyone else with driveshaft vibe
Just unpacked my junkyard 124 300D driveshaft (1987). I had them match mark it before they pulled it apart (i hope) The u-joint end has 2 marks cast into the yoke. The other end had one mark. Neither end had the two lines with a > to make an arrow, as previously described on the list. If the matchmarks are right, then the line on the plain end lines up with the more counterclockwise mark on the yoke, if you are facing the yoke with the splines pointing toward you. That makes the yokes on each end line up. The junkyard marked the nut on the spline fitting, and I forgot to transfer that line to the shaft BEFORE i loosened the nut! OOPS! But I had lined up the factory marks, so I used plan B. I put a new carrier bearing and mount on this one. When I get the other one out, I will see if it is obviously out of line. I don't like the feel of the u-joint, but it will likely be ok for a long time. I sure hope this works. I don't want to spend $1000 for a driveshaft rebuild/balance for a $3000 car.

Re: [MBZ] 124 upper console removal
Pull carpet behind the wood trim on the console and remove the screw holding the trim down. Pry up on the tab (don't pull on the trim, you'll rip the tab off). Once free, lift the rear of the trim up until the stuff unplugs and you can unhook the trim (and switches that stay in it) and remove. Open ash tray, remove tray, remove the two screws on the bottom, pull assembly out, remembering to unplug cig lighter and lamp from the assembly before you pull the wires off. Remove the two screws underneath the trim just above the radio and swing it up, unhook and remove. Radio is held in by two clips underneath, find them and hold them released (don't remember if you push up or pull down at the moment, it's obvious once you find them) and pull radio out, unplug all the wires. Two large screws and two small ones hold the climate control in, remove, then pry off the two large connectors to free it. The bar holding the switches presses into place, but I don't remember if it's from the back or the front -- push firmly to the left and back, I think, to unhook the right side (look carefully, it breaks easily). You can leave it swinging or unplug everything it you want. Do you need to remove the console itself, or just the guts? If you need to take the whole console out, unhook the carpet from the clips on the sides (two on each), remove the screws in the rear, the screws at the lower front (beside the gas pedal and opposite side, same place) and the two 10mm nuts at the top. Console will then lift at the rear and clear the studs in the dash panel. Note that you may have to remove both under-dash panels, I don't remember at the moment.

Re: [MBZ] was diesel, now Motorcycles for Bob/NOT!
Drum brakes are still good brakes. One must usually upgrade the old bikes. Put on new hoses for one thing. Old hoses get squishy and that makes the brakes feel squishy.

Re: [MBZ] was diesel, now Motorcycles for Bob/NOT!
Aye, I am no longer allowed to ride (got the scars to prove it) until the kids are in college (I'll be damned if I wait that long). I had been working on restoring a 67 Kawa Avenger, got what a beautiful bike it would have been. Sold it to buy a parts W123. Drum brakes are scary. I've had a variety of newish bikes, vf500, vfr750, cbr600, sv650. Sv650 was by far the best. A little to small and the suspension was a weak up front but it was just plain fun. The VFR was a great bike but a little to heavy. Still would love to have an older BMW or cafe racer. Disc brakes would be a requirement. -Rolf Curt Raymond wrote: > Big difference between any '60s bike and an '89 Kawi. > > I sat on an early '70s Honda 450 the other day.

Re: [MBZ] Help! I want my 300D back! 380SL
This is different, because the fuel pump does not run with the old resoldered relay or the new (used) relay in place. The fuel pump does run and the engine starts and runs with the FP relay plug jumpered. This leads me to the question of what are the inputs to the relay.

[MBZ] Help! I want my 300D back! 380SL
MY 300D is being held hostage until I can get this gasser fixed! Intermittent random stalling on Daughter's SL started last fall. Was ok warm, but sometimes would not start when hot. Listmembers suggested the fuel pump and or FP relay. I changed the pump and finally got a used FP relay and in the interim, I did a Cathey resolder of the old FP relay. Went out just now and plugged them in. No Go, with either relay. FP still runs with a jumper between 30 and 87a terminals. FP does not run with either relay. This leads me to suspect a bad feed into the relay, rather than a bad relay. Can anyone find a wiring diagram for 1985 380SL so I can check this out? Any other ideas? I am tempted to install a manual FP switch in the interim time. Then I could get my 300D back and she could drive the SL until I get this fixed.

Re: [MBZ] WAS Fuel Injector Tester NOW Mercedesource
I should add: Compared to someone like DieselGiant, mercessource is a rip off. I have ALWAYS respected Russell for the quality help he provides on the boards and his DIY article. I have even bit my tongue and purchased from him knowing I could get better prices elsewhere (I am a cheapskate). His markup is extremely nominal compared to mercessource and the fact that he is active on the boards and gives out a lot of free advice makes it a decent place to shop. -Rolf ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

I know about lower console, and I have > a writeup from mercedesshop about dash, speakers, etc. 'Have little detail > about upper console, radio, climate control, upper switches, etc. > Any tips on dash? Wilton, if you have the original radio, it requires a special tool of some kind. I have no experience with that---every 124 I've owned has had a newer stereo, which seems to always be a friction fit. (Just put your hand or a small helper's hand into the space left when you take out the climate control head unit, undo the plugs, and push it out from the back.) The switches above the climate control---headrest release, etc.---pop out towards the interior of the car, I think. Re dash removal, I'd warn you, to preserve the cosmetics of your car, be VERY careful with the side vents, since the clips are very tight and the plastic is brittle. If they break on removal, the vent housings must be replaced or repaired carefully to stay tight and square (i.e. you can't put them back into their openings broken and trust the rest of the dash to hold them together). Otherwise the tiny plastic rack mechanism that keeps the louvers parallel as you adjust them will not work as designed, and the louvers will get out of sync and look crummy (and not work as well to direct the air!). Before pulling the center vent, make sure you have a long 4.5 mm hex wrench (Harbor Freight sells one as part of a metric T-handle set for $10 or so) to release the lever that controls the main fresh air flap. The center vent is a friction fit on the left and held by one screw on the right which is hidden and accessible only after you remove the glove compartment. The frame is metal but the body of the vent is plastic and just as easy to break as the side vents. Watch out for the bulb and don't short the wires leading to it with the battery hooked up, unless you want to blow the secret "red fuse" hidden behind the instrument panel. (Although if you are taking the whole dash apart, a good job to do at the same time would be to not only change all the bulbs in the instrument panel but also the red fuse, and repaint the gauge needles.) Can't think of anything else right now. I haven't actually had to R & R the dash in any of my 124s yet (knock on wood), but have done some of the preliminary work as the above suggests. I'd strongly suggest that you get in touch with Dave Meimann, who hangs out on Rusty's web forum and at the 500ecstasy.com site. He's done this job more than once and probably has some helpful tips. (Tell him I sent you---he is a big '87 300D fan and found mine for me.)
