@Mercedes-Guru

You have a restriction in the accelerator circuit due to old gas, debris, or incorrect assembly. This guy has a great video that should help you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c-YJdzhgrkw.html At 12:25 and 15:00 you will find him dealing with parts of the accelerator. Notice at 15:08 the accelerator jet has a flat area. The jet is indexed so the tiny hole in the jet is spraying into the intake. It is possible to install the jet wrong and this will affect the acceleration. If you take your carb apart like he has done and use Chemtool B12 spray carb cleaner you should be able to fix your carbs. Let me know if you have further questions.

Yes, many people. I had to grind out some of the screws holding the throttle plates in place. People do not realize the screws are staked in place to keep them from backing out. Then after all these years the screws become rusted to the throttle shafts. It takes special effort to remove them correctly. Thank you for the compliment.

@almostbutnotentirelyunreas166 Месяц назад
Interesting! Some questions though: 1) Why do only 2 of the 4 throats have a 'choke' flap (as opposed to a throttle flap deeper in the carb? 2) Why were you varying the engine revs with the choke levers, instead of setting the flap at, say, 60 degs or 45degs. and letting the engine high-idle during warm-up? (I assume this is what the driver would 'set' from inside the car? 3) If the choke flap IS set at , say 45 degs, and you rev the engine via the throttle spindle, what happens then, does it flood out / overfuel at 84 deg F?
@Mercedes-Guru
@Mercedes-Guru Месяц назад
Hello, All excellent questions. I have links to vids I made that should visually answer your questions. 1. Only 2 choke flap because these Solex only use 1st bbl until engine gets to about 3000 rpm and vacuum opens the 2nd bbl. 2nd bbl is inop until 3000 rpm and under load. Otherwise, 2nd bbl is closed. 2. The videos below, especially the 2nd one, will show you there is no 45 or 60 degree settings. The choke is a half circle. 3. No, does not flood out. The choke is manually operated via a cable. There is a knob on the dash that driver moves to set the choke depending on ambient temp and engine temp. Choke operation is totally controlled by driver. Thank you for questions. I hope I answered them for you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NECnGj8oA-w.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JvK92PPsOzI.html especially at 3:00 mark

Wow, that is so cool! I’ve never seen a test machine for a brake booster before! But then that booster is a unique old Mercedes design, and I’ve never worked on one that old. I’ve always liked the old Benzes, had an ‘83 300D turbo about 20 years ago, and I was very impressed with the robust design of the car.
@Mercedes-Guru

Thank you for viewing and commenting. Yes, this is a very rare machine. It came out of a long time old time brake rebuilding shop. When I got it, the entire machine was covered in rust. I tore it down, had the body powder coated to match the original color, replaced the vacuum gauges, rebuild the hydraulic gauges (only found one video about them at the time), and rebuild the hydraulic pump that pressurizes the booster. Yes, the 300D is a wonderful car. Thank you, Will

Hi. I watched your video with a broad smile on my face. I liked and like the way you explain things in simple terms ( for the layman I am). Thank you much. For the Solex carburetor, I bought it in Germany with all its parts. Supposedly, it should have been working smoothly, as the guy told me it was repaired and ready to be installed. Anyway, Solexes are solexes. To answer you, I guess there are some five to ten 190 SLs in Morocco. Not many. For the seat adjusters, I could buy ( from Germany) some needed parts to replace the broken ones including the rubbers. It was more economical : 130 Dollars instead of 720 (roughly speaking. If your db50 white colour 190 SL is yours, I want to tell you that it's a beautiful classic colour and that mine is also of this colour, and that I resisted many friends who recommended me to opt for metallic grey. Thank you again.

My brake fluid comes out of the air filter end when I push the brake pedal, can these seals etc still be purchased? hopefully meaning brake fluid hasn't got to the vacuum can.
@Mercedes-Guru
@Mercedes-Guru 2 месяца назад
Hey Wayne, thanks for the question. If you are talking about this specific booster, and brake fluid is coming out of the air filter on the back, you got a more than serious internal leak. Yes, the booster is probably full of brake fluid. And the vacuum parts of the booster are not designed to handle brake fluid. So, they are slowly dissolving. And those parts are very hard to find. If the booster is full of fluid that meant someone had to keep adding fluid to the reservoir. If so, that should have been a red flag. Give me more info and/or post a video of what the booster is doing. Thanks, Will

Your car is early enough that it might not have come with a power brake booster. Can you confirm? The reason is there are 2 different master cylinders for cars with and without booster. Also, I assume you have the brake pedal in the car? Thanks, Will

Hey Carl, good to hear from you. With a rear axle, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Most home DIY owners can replace the rubber boot with a split boot, input flange seal, and outer axle seals. And even remove the trailing arms to replace the rubber bushings. (BTW, we have those bushings in polyurethane, which is an upgrade compared to OEM rubber). Otherwise, tearing the reax axle down requires lots of knowledge and an array of parts.

Strap usually comes in bulk, so you just have to buy as much as you think you need. I would guess 4m. I hope this helps.

Years of cruising Ebay and literature sites. I would purchase old manuals, tech books, etc. See if this link helps: www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=ignition+distributor+books&_sacat=0&_odkw=ignition+distributor+specs&_osacat=0

Don't see a lot of distributor work anymore. Especially a proper Bosh unit. Looks good to me!

Thank you. Old school distributors are fun to work on and do a fine job for what they were designed to do. Thanks for viewing and commenting.

FYI - Shifter boot install problem at the end of the video. After shredding several boots myself trying to force the chrome cover over the boot, I went to the MB Manual. The correct sequence is laid out pretty clearly. The chrome cover goes on first, THEN the boot. When seated properly the cover reveals the groove that accepts the lip on the bottom of the boot. The boot actually sits in the grove, on top of the chrome cover. Very simple once the assembly sequence is correct. Bill A.
