You should make sure that it is the hose first. That is low cost and easy to accomplish. Then watch and see if the injectors are the problem. I think not, but... your '77 240D might need new injectors? Injectors are a different animal but the hoses are simple. Buy dealer hose - not much, perhaps $20 for a meter? - essentially cheap. And then I can watch you roast coffee at BowTruss... maybe... At least I can purchase some from you since I have not yet. mao ___ 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
Re: [MBZ] Replacing fuel injectors on '77 240d
Somebody on list a few (before current okie support of list) years ago, did my injectors. I forget who it was, but man did he do a bang up job.

[MBZ] Replacing fuel injectors on '77 240d
Hi all, been a while since I posted -- hope you guys are doing well. I've finally managed to get my 240d ready for the road after a long bonded-title process. I've noticed my injectors have been leaking, and I suspect both clogged nozzles and bad hoses. I've never done any work myself on injectors, and am wondering if anyone has any experience with Monarch nozzles? Additionally, if anyone in Chicago is willing to help me with the work, or know roughly what this work should cost from a shop, I'd really appreciate it.

They'd be appropriate for your car too... Curt If you have leaking outside the injectors, all you need is one meter of return line hose. It just presses over nipples on the nozzle holders. A needle nose pliers is a good tool to remove the ends from the nozzle holder. You can buy that at a stealer or you can go to an industrial supply house and buy 1/8 i.d. viton hose, which will last longer. If the engine is running poorly, then pull the nozzle holders and have the nozzles tested. To take out the nozzle holder, you need a 27mm or an 1 1/6 deep socket with the splines broached deep also. Sears crapsman used to be good sockets. Each time you remove the nozzle holder, you need to replace the nozzle seal in the prechamber in the head. It is a tapered steel seal. You need a machinist's scribe or somthing similar to get the seals out. In a pinch, I have used a long handled allen wrench. Seals can be picked up at a Bosch injection shop, the stealer or ordered online. Removing the nozzles, and replacing them needs to be done in cleaner than surgical conditions. Compressed air is a necessity. any speck of dust that gets into the nozzle can ruin the nozzle. ___ 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

Make sure it's not weeping return lines that are making the injectors appear to be leaking.
