Howdy -
A week or so ago I asked a question about the starter in my 78 240D; It was
spinning constantly and the key would not turn it off. Also, it was not
engaging the ring gear.
We left the neg battery cable off for a week or so and when I hoo
It looks like replacing the starter is what's needed but I hate to
spend the money!!
I spent the money. Our SDL had the starter stick on.
By the time I could drive to her location the smoke had
stopped, as had the starter. It worked OK after that,
but I considered that I had had my one warning

Yes, the starter is a pain on a 60x. The fix is one of two choices:
1. replace the solenoid. 2. Replace the starter.
Both require taking out the starter.
The alternative is to do nothing but carry a piece of pipe and a
hammer. In our old 240D we carried a 2' chunk of 1/2" copper and a

Allan,
Over the weekend I threw a new starter in my 250S (M108). WOW what a
difference!
The new starter (from rusty) is a redesign from the original... its half
the size and weight I seriously doubted if it would even work on first
glance. But the thing turns over the engine signific
I'm not familiar with MB gassers, but if a diesel starter would bolt up
to that engine you'd be set. 10:1 compression is about half of what a
diesel starter is designed to crank.

I have my 1966 230 sitting in the driveway. Recently swapped a
"hybrid" motor into it, an M180 block with an M130 head. This
combination gives a higher compression (about 10.5:1) and it seems
that the starter will not turn it over. Turns over fine without plugs
installed, so it is not bindin
