Re: [MBZ] I did A Thing
Nice! I took at class at an art colony (The Steel Yard in Providence) one time. It improved my welding a bunch. Having an expert look over your shoulder and make suggestions was very helpful. Art welding was actually more useful than I expected, we welded mostly rusty (read "free") junk which is what I mostly weld anyway... -Curt On Tuesday, November 30, 2021, 10:35:54 AM EST, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes wrote: Signed up for welding program!

Re: [MBZ] I did A Thing
Thanks, I need to look and see where the pump(s) are on the car and listen once I see if the fuse is OK. I was also thinking of ignition and seeing if it would light off with some carb cleaner.

I suppose I should CHANGE THE FUSES --FT On 3/3/21 5:40 PM, Peter Frederick via Mercedes wrote: Shot of carb cleaner down the intake while cranking will tell you if it's fuel or not, should fire if the ignition is working and nothing horrible like a broken camshaft is preventing it from running.
