[diesel_mercedes] Re: Bleeding woes on a 1980 300TD

 



Lawrence ;

Only ONE line bleeds , to to more you'll have to rotate the engine and pump some more....

Are you sure the glow plugs are working ? .

Valves adjusted ? .

Maybe use a hair dryer to put warm/hot air into the intake ? .


Once one cylinder begins to pop you should be able to keep cranking it , throttle to the floor as one after another cylinders, cut in.....

Now you'll know to nevr again install a partially filled secondary fuel filter .

Guess how I learned this ? I had the car die cross wise in my narrow side street for 30 minutes whilst I figured it out .

Wish I were there to help .

After a thousand pumps I can only get one cylinder to weep & pop.  Worn down the battery 3 times. Banjo on top of secondary blead.  Banjo on  engine side of injection pump blead. I am at a loss as to why it's so hard to fill the injector lines with fuel.  Original problem started when I was showing a newbie how to change the secondary filter.  I never have done it cold only (new filter was only half full) and then I allowed the newbie to start the car.  The engine stalled cause the newbie didn't floor it.  That is where I stand.  Any thoughts?  Lawrence Rhodes
