will not start

Well I have the chance to try to put a few miles on my Benz it's been about two years since I had last driven this Beauty!!! Ghuese what it won't start not quiet a half a tank of fuel. This car I think might have low comp. in a couple of cyls. Now the big question is How to get this thing started??


It ran for a bout 20 sec it seamed but now it is poping during start mode.

I do not want to put alot of money it this car right now. Can the car be pop started??? Ifso how do you do it???

1) Adjust the valves
2) Ensure GP's are good
3) Replace the fuel filters
4) Give the primer pump a few pumps after replacing filters
5) Make sure the battery is fully charged and in good condition

And if the above fails use the block heater to help out (you may need to replace the plug on the cord,, they usually corrode

Good luck
