Re: [MBZ] Made it to SC

Start simple/cheap and work toward complex/expensive. Problems which present during a long drive are generally fuel/fuel leak related. DV o-ring leaks are visible/easy to spot. I'd start with fresh fuel filters and valve adjustment. If the primer pump is original and leaks when you operate

Re: [MBZ] Made it to SC

Hi Max, Nice to get a call from you the other day. Wish we had more time to play so we could have gotten together. Had to change the small filter on the road. Does not miss a beat at high rpm/ high fuel demand uphill 80mph runs so it is not a clogged filter. I see no air bubbles in the

Re: [MBZ] Made it to SC

Back home now. Ran the old Benz 12 hours straight through from NC to NY. 70-85mph most of the way. Running pretty rough and noisy at idle now with straight ulsd in the tank. I pushed her pretty hard up around 90 for 2 hours and when I stopped she was down a quart of oil and running VERY rough.
