After sitting for 20-30 years, this car is running again after rebuilding the carburetor and connecting a fresh fuel supply. Much work is still to be done before its ready for the road, but its a great start.
Mercedes steering box rebuild fail
Переглядів 15 тис.11 років тому
This is a box rebuilt with "new gears", but there is play in the piston assembly. In this movie, the piston is locked from moving with the proper MB tool, but the input shaft still has play. This box will be returned to the rebuilder.

In this short video, you are looking down at the front of the injection pump on a 1967 Mercedes Benz 300 SEL. The access cover for the rack is removed and an M5 bolt in partially screwed into it. Access to this area is quite tight!
1967 Mercedes 300SEL runs for the first time in 20+ years
Переглядів 3,1 тис.12 років тому
This M189 has been sitting since the late 1980s. With a new fuel tank and lines, some careful preparations, and a few minutes of cranking, it runs! It's a bit rough still, but with some running, tuning, and a bunch of new parts, it will run nicely.
Turning a Mercedes M189 by hand - 1967 300SEL
Переглядів 1,8 тис.12 років тому
Visit www.JaimeKop.com for more about the restoration of this car and engine. This suspenseful movie shows a Mercedes Benz M189 engine in a 1967 300SEL turning for the first time in 20 years. It was turned by inserting a long 7mm allen wrench into the holes on the outside of the vibration damper from below. It turned surprisingly easy. The cylinders were soaked for two weeks then given some oil.
1982 Mercedes Benz 300D cold start

With Conventional 15w40 oil (Rotella) at 5F. For details about what happened here and how to have better cold starts with your car, please see my article on the topic here: www.jaimekop.com/2017/12/cold-starting-your-mercedes-diesel-facts-and-fiction/
and I just wanted to see if your car still had the hubcaps with trim rings..................................
Witch Beautiful Car 👍👌🌞
Shouldn’t have waited so long. You should turn the key while the glow plugs are still glowing. These cars are intended to be used that way.
Sounds good
Non insistere col motorino di avviamento
You don't know how to use Old Mercedes Glow turn the key off glow again and then start your engine you are glowing and then waiting then glow plugs are cooling off
Have a look at this article I wrote on the topic: www.jaimekop.com/2017/12/cold-starting-your-mercedes-diesel-facts-and-fiction/

Now, that's a very, very hard start...LOVE IT!!
The 250S is ok but not that reliable as the 280 S/SE.
No it does not
Baaahha When the light goes out start it. Don’t wait for 5 minutes
Do you know how to get the cylinder out without having the key in a case where you buy a car and do not get the key with it
That is my same question, currently I'm interested in buying an 85 Mercedes 300D and the Girl that owns it lost title and keys in a Fire. Georgia allows for replacement title but I'm still trying to find out about Key. Thanks Y'all
Might be a little late but literally just hammer a flathead in there and use vice grips or something to turn it until it breaks the ignition and goes into position. Also worth seeing if the key that comes with the replacement ignition will turn the old one. Most of these old benz ignitions are so worn they'll take each other's keys with some wiggling.
And the Oscar goes to... The starter motor!!
Dziwny sposób odpalania zimnego diesla... Kto pana tego uczył ..?🙈🙉🙊😳
I just got one!!!! First day I got it I broke the wire and lever to the hood hitch 🤦🏽♂️. Also I was wondering does anyone know why it doesn't have a left side mirror?
Right**
hi ..please show engine bay and more pls!!!

It´s nearly a joke thet the nicest limousins ever built in Germany were made only for seven years..
Damn. That things shifts RIGHT NOW. Love the little punch it makes when shifting under load.😍And the 250 engine sounds glorious.
Hello Jaime, I have a 1968 mercedes with the same gear shift, do you shift to the 4th gear from the beginning and then you accelerate from 0 to 60 using the gas pedal only(without shifting from 2nd gear to 3rd...)
The behavior is different depending on which position you select on the shifter. With 4 or 3 and pressing the kick down switch from a stop, you should get first gear, and early shift to second, then up to redline and shift to third. If you select position 2, the transmission will start in first and run to redline before shifting to second… this is the maximum acceleration but also the most violent! Normally I leave it in 4 for most starts.
@@jaimekop thank you for your time jaime

Go figure, the best video explanation, of all the videos and you have the least views. One question I have: If my key got stuck all of a sudden, after being parked for a couple years, what is the best way to approach this? Should I try to force the key to turn? Put some WD40? i am just looking for best guess answeres, I know you all will say this "depends"
I'm glad you found it useful! First, be sure the key is correct! Two things can happen: first the lock cylinder can fail. If you continue to jiggle the key (for several minutes even) you may be able to get it to turn. If it does turn, immediately remove the cylinder! Second failure which can keep the key from turning is the steering lock. If this fails, you have little hope. You need to drill out the pin holding it to the steering column. Not a terrible job with an angle grinder. New steering locks and lock cylinders keyed to the VIN are available new from Mercedes. Good luck.
@@jaimekopchinski4603 YOU DA MAN ! I actually think I might have had the wrong key! I have two W123 and one W124 and I think I got them mixed up. I think a bit of Graphite Lubricant might do the trick if I did infact have the right key. But yeah, they keys got mixed up, but it is so good to know the tumbler can come out so easily. These cars are going to last forever, better to keep em maintained.
Dry graphite lube if the key still can turn. But replace it before it doesn't otherwise you can get stranded.
I JUST bought one of these cars yesterday
Hi, how much?
Wunderbarr
Good starter

Nou Cold start
i have cars 1968 250 double carbarateur lol
This is fabulous
hello, can i borrow a part of your video for my compilation? of course I put a link to your original video in the description :)
I absolutely love this car ,my dad used to have one it was same engine s250 1967 Manual . It’s my Dream to buy similar car one day !
badass battery
Only Benz I would drive is an old Benz. Very reliable.
Yes please
Nice!
Those 108 series in my opinion were the nicest limousines ever been made.
The 600 grosser was theoretically better
@@Engineering_Rebel ya the nicest is 600, but if you want the best of both worlds practicality and comfort you pick this but I would still pick the 600
Oh baby...you still love me so you started!.....lol
Un vero idiota!!
For those wondering if this was the correct procedure (right from the owners manual): Turn key in steering lock to position "2" charge indicator and preglow indicator lamp must come on. The preglow process starts. When the preglow indicator goes out, the engine is ready for starting. _Ambient Temperature below 0° C/+ 32° F:_ Depress accelerator to the floor. Turn key in steering lock clockwise to the stop. Release key only when the engine is firing regularly and back off accelerator slowly. *Do not interrupt the starting process.* If the engine is very cold, it is possible that it will fail to start on subsequent attempts. At ambient temperatures of less than - 18° C/0° F, depress accelerator three times prior to starting. indicator and preglow
What's the point of turning the starter for so long? Only expose the starter and battery wear. Press hard the gas pedal on a cold diesel engine, after starting,is guaranteed the risk of damage to the engine crankshaft.
You should not do this This car needs to check the fuel pump
Legends say that the starter is still cranking..
they are made to crank for up to one minute without stopping as per the book
@@truckcampertraveler7369 indeed, it says so in the manual 👍🏻 I can't watch if someone stops cranking after 5 or 10 seconds...
Very nice!
what other preparations did you do prior to trying to start it? picking up a 300se thats been sitting since the 80's, ran when parked... I was going to pull the plugs and oil the cylinders down, change all the fluids prior to attempting. Should I worry about pulling the injection pump apart to clean it out or just flush with fuel?
I flush it with Acetone to get out all of the varnish from old gasoline. In the car shown in this video, it worked very well. I've actually driven the car a few thousand miles now and it runs excellent. But I also have another car in very bad condition that was left outside. I'm trying to start it right now, but 4 of the 6 pistons in the injection pump are stuck, even after a few weeks of soaking. You can see this by removing the cover plate on the side of the pump. Hopefully it'll free up. Everything you mentioned is a good idea, and be sure you replace the fuel filter as well. I like to crank the engine with no plugs in it to build oil pressure before trying to start it as well.
thanks for the advice!
well after watching this i hope nobody needs a starter lol
well after watching this i hope nobody needs a starter lol
Should have given it a second glow.
Awesome, do you still have it? Love the old diesels, cool video.
4 yrs late, so this is for others. Don't state if you tried the gearbox in the car. Perhaps just a "doesn't seem right" on the bench. I resealed a 1965 Dodge gearbox (looks similar inside). It still had play in the input shaft on the bench (or w/ engine off), but operated very smoothly with no play under hydraulic pressure. It seems that play is normal in the way the box operates. As you turn the input shaft, it moves slightly to open hydraulic passages so pressure is applied to the piston to cause it to follow your motion. You are evaluating it as one would a manual gearbox. I would hate to be a rebuilder and have to deal with M-B owners (I am one, but not so fussy).
Hi jamie, how did you go with this steering box?Did they give you another? I would have thought the only problem was that the hole where the lock bolt tightens down was worn a bit large .Possibly the result of having been used a few times in the past.
