Door switch checks out good.

Understand that the door switch goes to the seat belt/headlight warning buzzer 
(N2/4) relay *then* to the lights.  It’s not a simple linear circuit on the 
driver’s side.  It is, however, a simple linear circuit on the passenger side.

I’m thinking the output transistor in the relay is open circuited.

On a lot of these cars, the ones I've played with anyway, the left and
right switches are diode-isolated, so that the passenger door (for example)
only runs the passenger-side lights, and doesn't cause the warning buzzers
to go off.  I've seen systems where this diode, located in one of the
'relays', got fried due to a wiring fault, rendering one side's switch
ineffective.  It's an easy fix, if you can solder.

Don't know if this is the case in a 124, but I suspect it is.  W140/W210 is

So now I know I have +2 bar at hot idle, which is good to know, and my

I got from Rock Auto on closeout, so I popped those in. I’m going to

headliner on the W210 wagon this weekend. That will be an undertaking. 
The 400E need the headliner redone, too, so this will be practice for 
doing it.


If I have time I’ll try to figure out why I have no courtesy lamps on 
the driver’s side of the 400E. That is, when you open the driver’s 
door you get no puddle lighting under the door, nor does the cabin 
light above the rear view mirror light. It works for the passenger 
side. The driver’s side goes through the seatbelt and headlight 
warning buzzer, then to the lights, so I’m wondering if there’s a 
wiring issue. The buzzer works fine for both headlight warning and 
seatbelt warning, so it’s presumably OK.

Re: [MBZ] M116 Popcorn

2018-03-15 Thread Curley McLain via Mercedes

It gets more weird.

I just took apart the intake.  No signs of popcorn or meeces anywhere.  
I have the upper and lower intakes off.  The engine is bare down to the 
valley of the casting.  Looking in the intake port of the valve, no 
signs of popcorn.  So the plug must have been taken out and popcorn put 
in at some time.


Strange!   Very strange!

Curley McLain 
March 13, 2018 at 8:23 PM
No, it came back out the plug hole.  I wish I had my blow gun with the 
12" tube here.   That would make blowing out the combustion chambers 
easier.  If the intake valve was open, the exhaust would be closed.


If someone wants to send me an old android smartfone, I can look 
inside with a borescope.   It has no software for ifone, so there is 
no way to turn the light on unless I can get an android.

I hate to "rain on your parade", but if it sounds too good to be true:

Myth 2: Rooftop / Downspout Hydro

A second common microhydro-electric scheme that we are often asked 
about is
the viability of putting turbines on a home’s gutter downspouts to 
generate

electricity from the rain. Some imaginative folks know enough about hydro
to understand that the energy has to come from somewhere (in this case,
from the forces of nature), and that the height of the roof can contribute
head (pressure) to spin that turbine.

The mistake in this scenario is a simple and honest one of scale. While
some hydro units have been designed that can function on low head, such as
from the roofline of typical homes (and even lower), a hydro turbine’s
power output is a product of head *times* flow. And it is a lack of
significant flow that is the defeating factor in the power equation when
relying on rooftop rainwater collection. The watershed drainages for even
small streams are usually measured in thousands of acres or square miles.
Home roofs, even big ones, are measured in mere thousands of square feet.

Let’s look at example calculations for a large house in a very rainy
place—Seattle, Washington, gets about 40 inches of rain per year, with
November being the rainiest month at an average of about 6 inches.

Let’s assume that a tall two-story house would give us a 25-foot-high 
roof,

and thus 25 feet of head. This 6,000-square-foot home has about 3,000
square feet of rainwater collection area (remember, it’s two stories). 
That

means that in November, this house would receive about 1,500 cubic feet of
rain, or 11,220 gallons.

If that rainfall came as a constant drizzle all month long, flow from the
roof would be only about 1/4 gallon per minute. Currently there is no
turbine on the market to work with that flows that low, but using our
microhydro power formula (see sidebar), we could theoretically get 468
watt-hours that month.


*0.26 gpm × 25 feet ÷ 10 derate = 0.65 watts × 720 hrs./mo. = 468 Wh*

So even if there was a nanohydro plant that could harvest that small flow,
it would result in less than 1/2 kWh of electricity—per month!—and only 3
cents worth of electricity in Seattle. It’s a tiny fraction of what 
even an
energy-efficient, 6,000-square-foot home would use in a day, not to 
mention

a whole month.

Would the available energy increase if we weren’t dealing with a constant
drizzle? What if, to increase flows to a usable rate, and hopefully
increase viable energy production, we could hope that all that rain 
came in

a great deluge of 1 inch per hour (a 100-year storm, in Seattle) over six
hours! At that unlikely amount of rain—practically all at once—flow from
our example roof would be about 31 gpm. That is a more viable flow 
rate for

hydro turbines on the market and gives us a projected power production of
77.5 watts, but only for those six hours. The total of 465 Wh per month is
about the same energy as the drizzly example above (the minor 
difference is

from rounding significant digits).

This is when inventive thinkers will begin planning for taller homes, or
additional rain-collecting roof areas, and tanks to hold the water for
release all at once to increase flow. But even that 11,220 gallons of 
water

that falls on our 3,000-square-foot roof that month would weigh almost 47
tons if stored. Imagine a structure at roof level capable of supporting
that kind of load just to generate a minuscule

273012 to be exact.

I’m going to hang onto this as a third/spare car. It costs me $300 a year to 
insure, so it makes sense to hang onto it for what little it costs me.  That 
and due the condition and miles I don’t think the resale would be all that 
great.

I probably have about $1,000 in it over my acquisition costs, making my total 
investment about $2200 to date, give or take a little.

I’m beginning to get a little more tinker time these days, so having it around 
gives me an outlet for my need to tinker.

I’m just surprised at how fast this car is. I’ve had enough W124 cars to have 
an imprint of what to expect performance-wise, and having the M119 engine under 
the hood just makes this a totally different car. Add to that the completely
