Re: [MBZ] Spotted on the way home

Yes watch those rear subframe mounts. I’m repairing the left one on the 1990 300D 2.5 as we speak. I did the right in the fall. I’m able to do them with the subframe in situ but that’s because they haven’t yet collapsed! Sent from my iPhone > On May 16, 2021, at 10:08 PM, Rick Knoble via

Re: [MBZ] What might be wrong with this generator?

Looks just like my Generac. What the hell is "limp mode?" Looks like significant weather exposure. From the description, this one starts but then what? Winds down? Stops abruptly? My Generac has a pure mechanical governor and maybe this one may have a governor (or LP solenoid) issue. All of

Re: [MBZ] Seems like a good deal on this Koehler

4kW is woefully undersized for most folks. I think 10-12kW is more what is thought of as 'whole house'. Smaller than the usual rope-pull genny. You could make it work, but you'd probably better be thinking 'tiny house', or maybe Green Acres. The usual electric hot water heater (tank) is 4+kW

Evaporator issues. Needs a head gasket (oil leaks) and possibly rebuild the head (brass, not bronze valve guides). The rear subframe mounts may need rebuilt (rust) May need all new bushings or control arms too. It would have to be thoroughly inspected. Possible transmission issues too.

A few pics linked. Seller wasn't home when I stopped. Overall looks nice enough, but some rust at front jack points. Interior is sort of a chocolate brown (tobacco?). Dash and seats looked good through the window. How are these overall as far as reliability? Thoughts on price? Seems a little high

You can, but you can also buy a rebuilt faceplate from Becker Auto Sound that has been completely reworked for around $125 last time I checked. Replacing the lamps is tough but doable, it involved disassembling the faceplate and desoldering the old “grain of wheat” bulbs and soldering the new

It’s a Generac. That’s the first issue. Second, it’s probably more expensive to repair than it was to replace. There’s a reason why the previous owner elected to do this. If you think you’re over the back of a chair with Mercedes and proprietary parts, you ain’t seen nothing yet. And that’s if
