I have replaced a timing chain on a 1961 190Db; you need to get a book or set of instructions on doing the job right.
In addition to the starter, you need to wire up the glow plugs and then be able to turn them off.
You need to check out the valves also to see if they were damaged when the chain broke.

Subject: [diesel_mercedes] 300D Generator
I was looking for a diesel engine to couple to a 3 phase generator, and found a 300D. The guy I bought it from had broken the timing chain somehow. Other than that he had built a great engine. First question: When I install the timing chain can I get the vac pump 180 degrees off? Second question can the engine run with no wiring other than the starter.
Yes I'm crazy! Maybe. but I believe a man has to have an incredible challenge going on to be happy.
