Well I got the linkage figured out. The stop button was apparently broken in the past and welded in the wrong spot causing it to hang up. I removed the springs and it operates normally now. I also checked the idle screw and it does not look broken.
I put 5 gal of diesel in the tank, but I still can't get the prefilter to fill. When I prime the level in the filter actually drops. The car will cough and shake like it is about to catch, but never start. I guess I will try to crack the injector lines and try to get the clutch going for a tow start. Is there any chance that the IP timing could have suddenly changed its self?

Answer:
If my guess is correct, this will work...
Remove both fuel lines from the body tubes. Insert both lines into a quart container of diesel... Bleed the air out of the system. Start the engine. If this worked: MB diesel filtration, how it works. http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/diesel-discussion/141211-mb-diesel-filtration-how-works.html#post1055075 Check out this fuel pickup screen Check out this fuel pickup screen fuel filter change http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/diesel-discussion/112664-fuel-filter-change-post824006.html#post824006 Diesel filters, no tank strainers please. http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/diesel-discussion/140349-diesel-filters-no-tank-strainers-please-post1046422.html?posted=1#post1046422 I'm baffled and at wit's end!?!?!?!?!

My 300 SD took 30 or so revolutions to get fuel to leak from cracked nuts in the IP tubes to the nozzles. The OEM primer pump failed and I believe allowed air into the system as the engine died. I loosened the nuts roughly 1/3rd turn. Now I have a 'modern' prime pump ($16.00 & a 5 minute fix). So charge the battery, loosed the nuts and crank till you make a mess.

This may sound a bit ridiculous, but have you removed the oil filler cap and watched the camshaft while someone cranks the engine.
I don't see anywhere in the post where you know for sure that the timing chain hasn't broken. The previous owner indicated it just lost power and died. This could have been caussed by a broken timing chain. Anyway, pardon me if you've already eliminated a broken timing chain as the culprit. Cheers, Wes |

I tried using a bottle aux. fuel tank yesterday. The primer pump could still only get the filter half full of fuel for some reason. The battery died before I could check for fuel using the cracked injector lines. I will report back about that later. I'll take a look at the cam and check the timing using the mark on the tower. I am thinking the tow start will help get the fuel moving along with out killing the battery. I have to change the hydraulic line for the clutch before I can try to tow start it though. Off to check the cam...

Hmmm
Remove the lift pump output line from the secondary filter housing.
Insert the hose in an empty can. Bleed the primer pump, keeping the hose end submerged. |

Well the chain is there so that's good Sweet sassy molassy this thing is hard to turn over though. Is that a sign of good compression?

Bad times
I could not get it to turn so I pulled the metal injector lines (which had fuel in them) and pulled the glow plugs. Even now I still can't get it to turn. Maybe the chain skipped another tooth and the valves are hitting the pistons now, although none of the cam lobes look like they are in the "open" position. What should I try now?

Starter speed is critical.
Is starter health important to your diesel?
