My 1987 300D
GRRRR mistimed again. Whatever I am doing, I am doing it wrong. Atleast this time I could see the tang on the IP at the far end of the adjustment and the car started but ran like crap. Le Sigh. The problem clearly occurs when I tighten the left hand screw and I can feel the timing device adjusting. First time I did this I had already pulled the locking pin put. Last time I left the locking pin in and it seemed like a bad idea since I could break the tang off. The manual is all but shit worthless as its install instructions are put locking pin in and then install everything else.... And here I am comparing 2 FSM's one for 602 and one for 603. The 602 (recent startek download) says to remove the basket to make it easier to turn the engine and the 603 one says *TO* mount it.
Here we go again....
