Run a choke cable from the flipper valve on the engine air intake, to the cab. 
Wind the engine up in a low gear and start closing the flipper valve, 
restricting the air to the engine. Might work.

Re: [MBZ] OT Calling Tin Man Mao

[archer75--- via Mercedes]

I agree with Curly. Stay busy doing "something", and every time thoughts about  
pain in your wrist pop up, put them out of your mind. It won't be easy at 
first, but the more you put something out of your mind, the easier it gets.
Remember the principle of building good habits: "Try and fail, try and fail, 
try and succeed." You want to replace the habit of thinking about the pains you 
have with the habit of ignoring the pains you have.
Hope this helps,
Gerry

The lawn part of the yard is not at street level and is all of 15x15.  It was 
exceptionally pretty according to the neighbors when the daffodils and tulips 
were out.  Then the weather got really nice and the grass went up.  Other parts 
of the yard are veggie garden and I have had wheat growing for feeding 
chickens, so it struck most passersby as in keeping with historical usage.

Re: [MBZ] Back in the saddle!

[Clay Monroe via Mercedes]

I was worried a bit about that.  There were many a dark Arctic night I awoke in 
a panic having dreamt that the house had been broken into and all the Mercedes 
parts I have stashed in every corner had been pilfered.  Or, the criminals had 
found the car keeps and absconded with my W126 and the SL.  Terrorizing 
nightmares.

Now I am gathering all those parts and bits for posting on CL so that I can 
clear the place enough for a cleaning crew to give it a good swabbing down in 
preparation for the next episode of taking time to canoodle with SWMBA.  Seems 
I did not put her off me totally, as she wanted to be sure I would be returning

Re: [MBZ] 87 OM603 no start

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

Classic symptoms of a plugged exhaust.

The old trap catalyst looks like a silver football, located between the rear of 
the exhaust manifold and the turbo.  The replacement is an insulated pipe about 
the same diameter as the manifold.

There is also a catalyst at the end of the downpipe, no reason to think it 
could not be clogged, or the muffler's collapsed.

Thanks Max, I will give that a shot.  I thought it was odd also, but
guessed that maybe the air flow was disrupted enough that I just wasn't
feeling it from the starter turning.

Honestly I am not sure - I will compare it to Wilton's engine when we get

Well what jumps out at me is that you don't feel exhaust.  Sounds like a 
blockage in the exhaust.  Take it loose as close as your can right after the 
turbo, before the catalytic converter.

This car does not have the original football exhaust filter thing, right above 
the turbo, right?

[MBZ] 87 OM603 no start

[Tim Crone via Mercedes]

Hi folks,

Happy mother's day, everyone!  We have a puzzle for you...

Jack and I thought we were really close on reviving the SDL. It was mostly
working: started immediately, power weak but improving, as of Thursday.
#22 head.

We drove about three miles (~25mph) with no problems.  We went up one final
mild slope (1 or 2%) just before getting home and the car noticeably lost
power.  I looked in the engine bay and tightened two of the injector hard
lines.  We ran around the driveway and it was really rough - jumpy like
intermittent fuel.  Also there was a terrible smell that I couldn't
identify.

Friday evening the engine would not start.  I found a disconnected vacuum
line but nothing else obviously wrong.  Now the engine will turn and
almost-seem-to-catch, but never stay running.

* Starter sounds like it did before, when the engine fired straightaway.
* I cracked all six hard lines and it seems to be getting fuel to each.
* I tried diesel kleen in the spin filter (no diesel purge locally) and no
change.
* Some air is coming into the intake when the starter is turning.
* I could not feel exhaust.
* When Jack lets off the starter there is a puff of smoke from behind the
injection pump.
* The smell is still present; it is not raw diesel or plastic, and I don't
think it's coolant.
* Fluids are stable and appear normal.
* Fuel filters seem fine.

Given the immediate-ish failure I'm thinking my next step is to check
compression.  However we would really appreciate any recommendations!

Thanks,
Tim & Jack

Re: [MBZ] So this happened, it was kinda funny

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

My first car, the 1975 Civic Hatchback, did that to me one day. 
Also with a wiper installed by the owner/driver. 
I put the wipers on intermittent (I'd installed an aftermarket delay box 
courtesy of JC Whitney) and used them as little as possible until I got home. 
When the windshield dried, I had a nice arc inscribed in the glass. 

20 year old me was too stupid to pull over and put the wiper arm in the up 
position. 
(but who knows, maybe it would have blown back down in the wind anyway)
Mitch.

Understood. That’s perfectly fine, and I can understand why someone would apply 
it there. Just wanted to stress that it’s not a good idea to put it on the 
mating surface between the bolt or nut and the wheel itself.

Re: [MBZ] Back in the saddle!

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

So his 'history' of code violations, which he may or may not have fixed 
promptly, on his rental property are the reason they're whacking him for $500 a 
day now?
How many of those violations were violations committed by tenants, and how many 
did he address promptly?

I'm not saying he didn't deserve this, and it looks like he may well deserve 
this, but I still don't think we have all the facts. We just have one TV news 
blurb savaging the city and one competing TV news blurb excusing the city.

Re: [MBZ] OT spark plugs 1996 Infiniti I30

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Never, ever put antiseize on the cup or mating surface between the lug nut/bolt 
and wheel. That is a major league no-no. Threads are OK.

Re: [MBZ] Back in the saddle!

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Glad you survived the winter of darkness.

When I lived in Hawaii for 2 yrs, the Quantum was stored and the escort 
was stored, batteries removed.  The escort battery was 5 yrs old then, 
and expected it to be dead as a 2x6.   It was not, and the escort lit 
right off.  Same with the quantum.   (I love Diesels with mechanical 
FI)   Same for the 200D.   Since then I have often let a 240D sit for 
years.  The rusty SDL sat for 2 yrs and lit off like it had been run 
yesterday.

Two hours on the charger (showing 40% charge) I lit off the SDL and she did not

winter away.

There's a place within 20 miles of Seattle where you can get away with that?

A guy in Florida had the misfortune of his mother dying, and then while he was 
out of state dealing with his mother's estate, the guy who was mowing his lawn 
for him died. 
So now the city is trying to take his home away because he didn't pay a $30k 
fine.

The center hole is where they stick.

I rotated the tires on 2 of 3 vehicles yesterday. All wheels got a smear of 
antiseize on the mating surfaces. 2 of the wheels on the pickup required a 
hammer, one needed heat. I had used grease past time. I think I couldn't find 
my antiseize at the time. I also realized I needed to coat the center hole in 
the wheel which might have been sticking...

Re: [MBZ] OT spark plugs 1996 Infiniti I30

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

Check the air flow sensor and temperature sensors -- sounds to me as if it's 
running in normal warmed up closed loop mode when cold -- just like having the 
choke stuck open on a carburetor.  

A small vacuum leak can do the same thing, check for cracks in the intake 
between the airflow sensor and the head.  My niece failed miserably at learning 
to drive a stick shift on my BIL's BMW for this reason, she couldn't get the 
car moving without stalling it.  "Typical intake manifold crack" was the 
eventual diagnosis.

Re: [MBZ] Back in the saddle!

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

Lol, this reminds me of why I never traveled in the winter when I lived in 
Sault Ste. Marie -- take a week off and come home to three feet of snow in the 
drive and a snowstorm, sidewalks impassible, and at least two hours of digging 
to get the car off the street so the snowplow won't bury it at three am.

A house sitter (or at least someone to come in every week) and a lawn service 
is definitely the way to go.

Re: [MBZ] OT spark plugs 1996 Infiniti I30

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

Well I guess I'll have to scrap this poor car.  Third set of plugs, never 
applied anti-seize.

Last night we went out to local Greek Fest, Infiniti stumbled off idle when 
cold, it was a jerky ride for a bit.  After it warmed up, no problems.

This morning the same behavior but it was very short lived.

I think there may be air in the fuel rail that needs to bleed out.
