Re: [diesel_mercedes] Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

 

I did read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and his other, Lila: An Inquiry into Morals, which centered on sailing.

Another more recent book on Philosophy and motorcycle repair is, Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry into the Value of Work

I did something similar on my 300D, to find the plug, little tugs of the ratchet, and watch for the plug. I think a flashlight or shop lamp was in there somewhere.

This should be easier to do with a 240D since it is only a four cylinder.

Though he never mentioned the make/model of motorcycle he rode in the book, it's well documented that Pirsig loved touring on his Honda CB77 Super Hawk.

[diesel_mercedes] Fuel Economy Check '84 300CD Slushbox

 

No additives used .

488 miles, 25.6 MPG .

I repaired my injector pop tester to - day and tested the rebuilt injectors I installed a few months ago, one was bad ~ it drooled horribly, streaming a tiny solid stream of fuel @110 BAR, once it reached 132 BAR it popped and had a good spray pattern but the drooling I think is what caused the smoke and loping idle .

I also tried the IP timing tool I made a few years ago, it works fine and my car's IP is timed @ 26 degrees BTDC .

I then tested most of the remaining unused rebuilt injectors and 7 of them drool the same way, a few pop before 120 BAR making them defective .

I need to go collect the set he made me for my 240D and see if they're any good before I contact the rebuilder .

I hope he stands behind his product .

[diesel_mercedes] Fuel Economy Check '84 300TD Automatic

 


No AC (it's still dead), no fuel additives used .

339 miles, 22.6 MPG ~ this wagon has never gotten stellar fuel economy but it's been sliding bit by bit even though no visible smoke and no diesel smoot on the tailgate...

A very soft, irregular miss @ idle tells me I need to fix my injector pop tester and see how they're doing .

[diesel_mercedes] Tranny Core

 

If you look at it there's a model # stamped into it near the pan flange .   Might be a tag, I forget .


I *think* it will read 722.XXX and that # will determine it's value .

Post the nearest town or interstate exit so folks nearby will know to answer your call .
