Hey guys, I'm needing a little help with an '82 MB 300D.
I replaced the primer pump and it didn't seem to have any resistance when I pumped it, so I then replaced the first fuel filter and I thought it was pumping correctly. Would't start. Replaced the main fuel filter, still no start. Replaced both fuel lines on either side of the first fuel filter thinking I had a leak, still no start. I think I need to bleed the injectors.
So, I'm going to loosen slightly the top nut where each metal fuel line goes into the top of the injector while a friend tries to start it for a few seconds, right? My big question is, what kind of 17mm wrench do I need to use? It just doesn't look like there's any room to manuver a standard wrench in among the injector lines and throttle linkage. Any tips, tricks or warnings?
Thanks in advance for any help you're able to offer,
Keith
