Welcome to the group Mark,
Like Nate said, ask questions, as it gives the group something to talk about. Whatever the issue, at least someone in the group has been through it before, and more often than not, we all have.
These old MB diesels can be a lot of fun.

WELCOME NEWBIE MARK ! .
You'll find very helpful people here who've been down your path already so don't hesitate to ASK QUESTIONS .
Do things in the proper order and you'll be well rewarded by a fine running, fun to drive, easy to maintain and cheap to operate vintage Mercedes Diesel .
#1: Vavle adjust, you'll need two special 14MM wrenches, fairly easy to make if you have a gas torch or purchase .
#2 : fuel filters and a Diesel Purge .
After these are done and the clear plastic fuel intake screen remains clear, then you can more on to injetor fun etc. as necessary .

Hello,
We have here a getting-ready-to-retire Wisconsinite. I have been a
professional auto tech for many years. I have owned European cars since
before I could drive. A while back, I had a 1974 240D, but I did not get
into the engine at all, so diesel is new to me. I have lots of
experience with Saabs, Renaults, Volvos and Citroens.
My most recent acquisition is a 1977 240D sedan. I has fairly low miles
and the body and interior are very good, but it has a host of mechanical
issues.
I should not burden you with my troubles yet, but be prepared for an
onslaught is injector problems. That is my weak suit. I just got pretty
much everything I need to fix the front end. It doesn't have one tight
tie rod end and it pretty much wallows down the road right now.
Thanks in advance for taking me on!
