Re: [MBZ] OT: Onsite fabrication of taller wind turbines
North Florida was "poor" during the early 1950s. Many chemistry majors couldn't afford beer so they made "raisin jack"**, poured it in the labs large polyethylene cylinders, and froze it in the lab refrigerators. After it was frozen, a layer of yeast cells, raisins, and anything else that happened to fall in was lifted out in one piece, and the raisin jack was ready. A Chinese cook and his family rented a closed restaurant and managed to survive by selling cheap but nourishing lunches to students. The cook bought an old car and students would occasionally see it stopped before dawn along country roads near town. They finally figured out that the "mystery meat" in his rice dishes, which were well disguised with Chinese sauce, was road kill. His business with students declined and he soon sold the restaurant to another Chinese family that improved it and is still in business AFAIK. The restaurant was about halfway between the courthouse and 13th Street on University Avenue. Gerry **Raisin jack was made by dumping a small box of raisins and two packs of dried yeast into a gallon jug of sweet cider. The chem students attached a cap and tube with the other end in a glass of water. When the bubbles per minute reached a precise number, the raisin jack had reached maximum power. ..

Re: [MBZ] OT: Onsite fabrication of taller wind turbines
In the house one day we heard a loud bang. Turned out that a red tailed hawk chasing a bird crashed into a window. Both were gone but feathers and a spot on the window provided the evidence. Red tailed hawks are the only raptors around here except owls that hunt at night.

Re: [MBZ] OM603 alda
On the subject of changing blower motors, do so as soon as it starts to run slowly or fail to start occasionally, or you will burn up the speed control module and have to replace that as well. The module cost around $400 for an original one, and while the aftermarkets work, they run the fan faster than I like. It's also a pain to replace! I know, I've replaced two so far and will be doing #3 shortly.

Re: [MBZ] OM603 alda
Around 2008 I rebuilt the HVAC blower in my 124.193, using a kit from MercedesSource. Kit included a new Bosch motor, a special tool for removing the fan blades, and a decent instruction book. IIRC, had to measure the distance between inside edges of fan blades and mark the clock orientation of the blades. These ensured that balance was maintained and the blades didn't rub the housing when mounted on the new motor. I think price was around $80, new motor still works fine.

to enrich the fuel delivery, do you screw the alda screw in or out? It is probably easier to just put a shim in though. I've made them out of the the copper oil drain seals. pt it over a needle nose pliers and open the pliers to squeeze, turn repeat over and over until the OD is large enough. Buy then the cross section is nearing square. gives you about a 1.2 mm shim that seems to do the trick. ___ 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 All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Onsite fabrication of taller wind turbines
Not sure why, but not nearly so many lawyers in politics these days - at least not in Canada. Used to be that almost all of the politicians were lawyers. One of the reasons was the it was relatively easy for a lawyer in a bigger firm to leave the practice and then to come back to it if they lost an election.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Onsite fabrication of taller wind turbines
When I lived in NW DC, a dead bird fell from the sky into the alley about 10' from where I was standing just as an ominous shadow passed overhead. I went inside the house for about 40 minutes, and when I returned to the alley the bird carcass had vanished. Must have been a red tailed hawk, which were endemic in the urban forest where I lived.
