[W126 Coupe] MBCOUPES Digest, Vol 37, Issue 26, "Lookding of a good shop"

[Larry Martin]

Clay,

In regards to the start behavior after sitting awhile... there is a gas
tank return line (pressure controlled) that should return excess
gasoline (due to increased temperatures from the engine when it is shut
off) such that it should easily restart after sitting a few minutes...or
even sitting longer. I have had your problem on previous Mercedes...but
my current Mercedes (an '84 Mercedes 500SEC) does NOT have this
problem...even after sitting in 100 degree temperatures for an hour or
so. The engine is simply 'flooding' with gasoline...and that is not the
way it was designed to work.

Regards,
Larry Martin

Hi Everyone,
Does any one here in Arizona Scottsdale /Phoenix recommend a shop that
is good and honest ? Looking to take mine in after one last change of
the fuel accumulator that I ordered. Car will start instantly after
sitting in garage overnight w/battery disconnected. I you turn off and
restart right away again it starts instantly. Let sit for a minute and
you have to hold pedal almost to floor to restart. Any info welcomed,
Clay Moizo

Hi Axel, 

It will get back to "drivability" issues for sure - I will get my
calculator working and confirm the hardware ratio installed and then try
shifting up/down at 100kmh to get a feel for driver comfort at that
speed. (Engine noise, consumption.).

Fortunately, I have the facility to buy the internals for the diff and
have the guys engineer it into the existing housing for me.

I threw the issue at a group of my buddies - automotive engineers that
are the design A team in one of big car companies here in Oz (one of
them did his study with Benz in the late 80's and knows the SEC quite
well) - they do say terrible things about our cars BUT do mill about
with respect when it is on the hoist! A comment made recently was "that
is how we should do this part if we had the budget" (a rear suspension
component).

 

There is some enjoyment for many with this machine.

Hello all 

 

Would anyone have a driver side hood hinge for a 1988 560 sec for sale?

 

 

Thanks
