Yea, well, WD-40 dont work. I've tried it on diesel engines, no go. One thing that works every time for a 4-spd. is a good hill. I love my hill. Use it when I have to. max

You could buy my 240D automatic for the engine. It's got zero chain stretch. Starts better than my 4-spd.(in cold weather) with the documented Mercedes Benz factory engine. CAr runs great, transmission shifts perfect, good car, but I'm sellin all of em. Max

If it IS indeed flooded, maybe you can try cranking with the supply ("cigar") hose clamped with ViseGrips or some other type of clamp.
saw dis fer sale;
what you maka dis?
1987 Mercedes-Benz Diesel Sedan 300SDL. Black. NOT RUNNING!!! Has some type of electrical short somewhere. Will start with a jump but will not keep running and won't restart without a jump. Brand new battery, new windshield wiper motor (just installed--never used). Low Mileage for its age -- only 277,661. Car is in fair physical condition. Good parts car or could be repaired by someone who knows electrical systems. Make an offer. Car will have to be towed. Car sold strictly "as is".
any suggestions?
if you can finder her original add on your own you are welcome to it, but i'd still be curious what all you sages get from yer tea leave and spit on scranbled chicken bones mixed with blood, eyes of newts and pickled egrets.
love it when they say they they run a million miles; 300k, just getting started.
regardless, hope you are all well, sorry for not stopping in and getting you all riled up once in a blue :-)
Thanks Gene, Looks like I need to take the short drive over to Troy to investigate.
Al, I’ll perform the wet test tonight.

Try some spray stuff. You might get it started. And a worn out engine is less likely to have damage done to it by starter fluid. When I bought my 190D it would not start without a shot in the morning and then I could drive it all day. With compression like that your screwed. Max

Thanks for the input. Glow plugs glowed nicely outside the car. And with the injectors removed, I could view them glowing red while installed.
I ran the compression test – several times to get consistent numbers on all cylinders. The results are bad, very bad. Keep in mind this was a cold engine test, given it's pretty difficult to do a warm engine test on a car that will not start.
Cylinder 1 – 220 Cylinder 2 – 180 Cylinder 3 – 210 Cylinder 4 – 310
So guys, what do you things the odds are that a valve job will help this engine? A complete rebuild is way outside my skill set, and also my budget. Has my beloved 240D become a parts car?
