@adeyemibabatunde1814 the problem is also that the aftermarket needle set is not the best one.

@adeyemibabatunde1814 1st reason - the seat of the needle was too weared out. 2nd - the piston in the carb got stucked, so it couldn't move up, once throttle opened and the pressure dropped in the chamber.

@@IgorLapa Thanks What was the condition of choke, piston/jet pin, throttle, carburetor seat, float chamber adjustment bolt in the former carburetor? What could be done to repair stuck piston? New carburetor is not affordable/available, the old one should be repairable Kindly show the picture of the carburetor

@adeyemibabatunde1814 which country are you located?

@@IgorLapa Without buying a new carburetor, how can a stuck piston be fixed? Why was piston become stuck? Was it because of it worn out/scored like clipper blade? Can the piston be machined or sharpened like clipper blades,? Was piston coated with a different lubricant metal? Which lubricant can be used on piston so that it can run freely? Thanks

@@wellenjaeger ich glaube in meinem Fall könnte ich das Klopfen nicht als Nageln bezeichnen, eher helles Geräusch nur im Leerlauf. Haben Sie auch die Kupferringe an der Pumpe gewechselt, oder sind die unberührt? Der Wechsel dieser bewirkt viel in beide Richtungen - gut und schlecht.

@@IgorLapa Ah okay! Auch interessant. Es kann alle Möglichen Ursachen für Geräusche geben. Die Einspritzpumpe habe ich an den Druckhalteventilen neu abgedichtet; ebenso die Kupferrunge. Wahrscheinlich dauert es einfach, bis das Nageln verschwindet. So viel bin ich mit den neuen Düsen noch nicht gefahren.

Pay attention - for the OM601 there are 2 different types of them (72hp or 75hp are different). You can see them simply - the angled sitting in the head or straight down. Straight sitting: KCA30S44. Angled sitting: KCA27S55. Both should be 115bar.

@@IgorLapa many thanks!

Hi! 606 and 603 are really great. Such injectors have in the beginning a bit higher opening pressure, which normalize after some time.

@IgorLapa oh I never knew injectors have a different pressure before seating. I didnt realise they were like an engine that needs running in too, that's so cool. Do you need to treat them like a new engine too, where you can't go over a certain rev range or something? I have learned something. Is there anything else I need to know about new injectors, so I don't accidentally ruin a new set in the future? Thank you, have a nice day =)

@PrinceAndrewFucksKids thank you, I wish you all the best too!) Actually - you do not have to break in them, just drive as you want. The most important stuff is - in case you ever will replace that orings on the pump outlets - pay attention to replace that copper rings too and to tighten the nuts extremely precise, also it must be very clear. To balance the pump pressure, timing - that is very rare, if you will find someone, who still can do it. To be honest - that engines will go, go, go....even they are not perfectly set up ) The real Mercedes-Benz

Unfortunately not, just 72hp)

На вашем фото тоже красавец

Is it w211 or later one?

Hi Jan, the old were 200 000km inside. Replaced just to be safe) On the video they are very new, so sounding still rough, about 100km i think.

@@IgorLapa a okey thanks for asnwer!

@@IgorLapa If in remember correctly, mercedes maintenance book for 123 and 124 diesels recommended fuel injector testing and rebuilding service (if needed) every 160 000 kms, to prevent possible nailing and leaking injectors. Small things save engine life in long run. 😃👍

Согласен, после замены форсунок жёстко работает. Но после 500км примерно наладилось.

It is an old Fischer, racked and wide. If you need precisely - i will search in the papers.

The smoothest) Still i would prefer the V8 😎

@@IgorLapa i like 1988-1992 generation of w124, 300E with manual transmission is my absolute dream car.

Seems that the engine and the suspension still more or less ok, but indeed - that Chrysler saw better times

@@IgorLapa The 300 is a tank.

@@dodge1515 good combination between Mercedes w210 and Chrysler

Hi Jens, i replaced the head gasket because of leaking a bit of oil and sent the injectors for testing. The result was - 1 was already leaking, so i decided to replace all 4 because I found the old stock original 4 injectors for only 250EUR.

@@IgorLapa thx for reply, they are normally very good, my friend has 500k kilometers on his 200d and it has the original injectors. in my opinion the best engine Merceds has ever built; OM601/2/3..

@@amgjens indeed, they are much more smooth and less weight than om615/617 but almost same reliable

You are correct, but with all 4 new injectors - it sounded rough first 400-500km

​@@IgorLapaنفس الشي عندي استبدلت اربح حاقنات جديدة . لكن نقص اداء المحرك مع ارتجاف في الصباح .

​@salamon3425 sorry, looks like Google is not able to translate your comment clearly, I am not sure what do you mean.

sounds like a good game)

About 230 000km, but u think more)

Thank you!

@@IgorLapa how long did it take you to paint only that part for all the steps (primer, base coat/color, clear coat)?

@@timevscars i do it only on weekends, now we have winter time in Germany. I did a bodywork and put a primer (one working day). After I sanded and put base + clear - one working day too. Now a have to use 3M Trizact (wet) to get the bad orange peel down and polish - should be another 2-3 hours.

@@IgorLapa oh not that long

Thank you! Currently the welding is finished, but it will come again surely)

Both front fenders painted, under the sacco boards and rocker panels i put rust protection (wax).

210 000km, original

@@IgorLapa still good the engine runs good

Engine mountings are bad

@@t.8750 They are new. Shaking was caused by the air in the pressure diesel tubes. After another xxxKm - shaking disappeared.

@@timevscars for these engines is nothing ,they go to 2 mil 3mil i had one with 5mil and worked like a beast they are tanks

Hi ! Just as usually a lot of work) at the moment I am on friend's w124 300 Body work) But I bought the next project - w124 220TE in 147white in a good body shape😋 How are you? Prepared for Christmas?)

@@IgorLapa can u please do an update on those 2 cars?

@@timevscars i will put couple of smartphone videos soon

@@IgorLapa sure, waiting for it!

Hi Ferdinand, thank you for your hint!

Indeed, i didn't expect such an idle after 13 years and first start)

@@IgorLapa these Mercedes-Benz engines aren’t the fastest but it goes forever

@@timevscars absolutely! And so easy and cheap to maintain - just made for people!

@@IgorLapa yep and it is mend to be used

My w124 e280 also goes and goes with no problem even though it got over 400.000 km! It is mend to be used it’s my daily driving
