[diesel_mercedes] Fuel Tank Fun & A. B. Light

 


I know most replace the in tank screens, I've always just cleaned them well with a tooth brush....

Yesterday I met a list member Alex in his 1978 W116, I think he said the color is Maple Yellow, it's a nice color .

He was coming by to show me his factory A-B injection pump timing tool, some how he would up in Alhambra and spit both alternator belts at the same time, he travles with tools so I took my Coupe down to give him my spare fan belts, it turns out his engine has been slightly modified over the decades and he put a smaller diameter water pump pulley on it (to increase coolant circulation I assume) so my 10X1035 belts didn't work, he needed a 10X105MM one, off we went to O'Reilly's A.P. where we lucked into a good counterman who was able to look up the correct size belt and we got him going again .

Hopefully he'll have the time Thu. or Fri. to come by and show me how to use this tool to more accurately time my I.P. than my current drip timing .

I've been working on that old Honda CB125S (E) and it now runs and rides well, I still have much to do, mostly cleaning and polishing .

Need a hair cut and am not sure what do to .


But it's kinda small to do my entire head....

At this point I just want a #1 cut .

Yea, I have a 4" foam layer on my roof too, from previous owner, I did the crawl around under the house insulation, and fixed the ducts, which helped a lot too, otherwise block walls, and large windows.

I wondered about the screen too, yet did buy a pump off Rock auto for a replacement, If it's obviously the screen, I just swap that.

Thanks
