My 1967 200D is slow, I know that it is always going to be slow but I think it is not getting enough fuel. On maximum acceleration, I don't see any black smoke come from the tail pipe, shouldn't there be some? Also, it is kind of ruff when it first starts and I have to feather the throttle for 30 seconds until it wants to idle and it smokes (diesel smell) for 3-5 minutes. (yes the cold idle set screw is working but does not help on startup). When it warms up it runs kind of ruff but dos not smoke. I haven't got a manual yet so I have no idea on what adjustments can be made. Can anyone give me tips, besides adjusting the valves, on what adjustments I should check, and how to do them i.e. injector pump timing by using drip method, what is the IP timing spec for my 1967 200D?, diesel tune up? I have little experience with diesel engine performance. but understand the basic principals.
Regards,
Bryan

Bryan, I wish I could help you more. The most I can suggest is that you check fuel filters, injectors, etc.. I'd say get a good manual, can be a real headache saver.

Otherwise, nice car. My Dad had a 67 200D for years. I was to be my first car but he sold it and bought himself a new one just before I turned 16. I hate it when that happens. That car was cool. Not fast, but very cool. We rebuilt the engine in it and it ran pretty well.

Anyway, good luck, I'll always miss that old 67.

Frank.
