Re: [MBZ] 240D starter

[David Bruckmann via Mercedes]

Happily, the solenoid can be easily replaced without removing the starter
from the car. Especially on a 240D. I have done this on my 300D W115.

Lately sometimes the starter just clicks.  I hit the key a few times and it
goes.  Also, after shutting the engine down, starter it still spinning but
not engaged to the flywheel.  Just freewheeling.  I have to unhook the
battery to stop it.  If I whack it with a hammer it stops.  I guess
something with the solenoid is sticking?  Probably need to replace it as
well.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Coleman fuel alternative?

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Will work fine in a KEROSENE Coleman lantern. It'll burn in a regular lantern 
you just need some preheat, I actually did a video on that recently: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjE1pCY_VjU


NOT for use in wick lanterns, it's got lower vapor pressure so as the tank 
warms up it can off-gas causing the lantern to run away.

Re: [MBZ] Colemans

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Depends on the lantern, Coleman did make kerosene specific lanterns. You need 
to preheat to get kerosene to light, fortunately we know a guy: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_CJZrpGCAQ

There is big debate about RUG (regular unleaded gas) in a Coleman lantern. 
Nobody disputes that it will work, Coleman makes dual fuel lanterns 
specifically for this. There are 2 prime points of contention:
1. RUG will clog the lantern generator (vaporizer) faster
This is true but probably not important "faster" is still a pretty long time 
horizon
2. RUG has nasty additives you probably don't want to be breathing.
So don't use it indoors

I'd add one other point, RUG has a substantially higher water content than 
canned fuel, you probably shouldn't leave it in the tank long term as it will 
cause/promote rust. This is especially important for lanterns made after WWII 
but before the 1970s. Some time in the mid '70s Coleman started coating the 
inside of the steel tanks to resist rust better. Lanterns made before WWII are 
mostly brass...

Yeah, I didn't read the whole ad before I posted it. It's pretty much a

[MBZ] 240D starter

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

This really nice dark red on dark red 83 240D I have seems to have a 
starter issue.  I have only started it up briefly to move it around.  
Lately sometimes the starter just clicks.  I hit the key a few times and 
it goes.  Also, after shutting the engine down, starter it still 
spinning but not engaged to the flywheel.  Just freewheeling.  I have to 
unhook the battery to stop it.  If I whack it with a hammer it stops.  I 
guess something with the solenoid is sticking?  Probably need to replace 
it as well.  I know the alternator needs to be replaced because with the

[MBZ] AC machines

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

You recall my old robinair AC machine was giving me an error, and called local 
service center who wanted $180 to look at it, then parts etc. I just bought a 1 
year old new machine. Messed with the old one some more and figured it had to 
be one of the pressure transducers. When powered on it shows low pressure 
error. Unplugging the connector to the transducer the error would go away. When 
trying to do a recovery the display would always show 31inhg. At the end when 
trying to do an oil drain it would fail. I then figured if the transducer was 
bad, it would not know if the was draining or not. Looking up the part number I 
found the new transducers listed for sale for about $160 each off the robinair 
part number. These apparently are supplied by a different manufacturer than 
original as they look different. I then used the photo of the robinair part to 
get the manufacturer and part number, did a search and turned up the same 
transducer for $27 each. Ordered 2, replaced both of them to be sure and it’s 
now working fine. No errors, does a recovery and oil drain just fine. Since I 
already bought a newer machine I will probably put the old one up for sale as I 
don’t think I really need 2 of them do I?

Technically, no, Lady Lake is a separate town northeast of the Villages. That 
being said, a lot of people just refer to that area in general as the 
“Villages” since it’s pretty homogenous. It’s like saying Wildwood or Oxford 
are part of the Villages.

Re: [MBZ] Brake dust woes

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

I don’t use organic pads on any of my cars. I’ve changed everything over to 
Akebono. They last far longer and don’t generate anywhere near the amount of 
dust that organics do.

Mrs. Dan is heck on brakes. The SL500 that she drives has over 30k on the front 
Akebonos I put on it several years ago, and there’s still plenty of pad left.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Now it's the septic pump

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

As rocky as the ground is where you are Allen I’m surprised you could have a 
septic system. When we lived in Greenwood our house had a septic with a leach 
field that was the bulk of the 1/2 acre backyard because the soil was heavy 
clay. In the springtime when it was damp/rainy it wasn’t uncommon for water to 
puddle in the back yard. I’m sure the previous owners had never pumped it. We 
talked to a septic guy and he said to leave it alone unless there was an issue. 
We took his advice.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Now it's the septic pump

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

My system has two tanks, the first is the septic tank where all the waste is 
broken down, that flows by gravity into the "effluent" tank which is basically 
a buffer tank to hold water, from where it gets pumped into the field.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Now it's the septic pump

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

I believe that’s another form of “advanced” septic. I saw those in AZ as well, 
but they weren’t approved for the area we were looking at. All I know is that 
the initial cost was stupid expensive and really made it unrealistic to do it 
from a standpoint of cost. Investing $200k in a piece of land and having to 
drop another $50-$75k before it’s even habitable doesn’t make a lot of sense to 
me.

Around here they have what I think they call an aerobic system that has 3 tanks 
and I guess it moves from tank to tank and final treatment is sprinklers that 
expel it into the yard to water it basically.

It could, but the field has perimeter drainage and there is also a backflow

Akebono are the best. Ceramic pads are harder than conventional pads but

counterintuitively rotors should last longer.

I don’t think so. The ones I looked at used aerobic treatment and multiple 
tanks to treat the effluent. They were pretty complex and had several pumps and 
used electronics to manage the system, which no doubt contributed to the cost. 
They also used mounds rather than leach fields.

 When you have a holding tank, a dose pump, and a raised mound leech field, 
 you need a high water alarm to tell you that the dose pump failed before

What the heck is an advanced septic? Is that one of those with the sprinklers?

From my experience, no. What happens is the ground gets saturated and nothing 
flows out of the fingers/leach field.

When we were considering building in Flagstaff, one area we looked at required 
“advanced septic” systems. $50k+ depending on the size of the house. No thanks.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Now it's the septic pump

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Speaking of septic tanks, during periods of long or heavy rain, can rain water 
get into and fill up a tank? I would figure it could come in thru the drain 
field.

When you have a holding tank, a dose pump, and a raised mound leech 
field, you need a high water alarm to tell you that the dose pump failed 
before the toilet backs up into the bath tub.
