Exclamation Emergency!!

What the @#$%!!! So im messing with the shut off lever on my om603 trying to replace the seal behind the lever. I then decide to explore a little more and remove the retaining collor for the shut off. Anyways the lever lever seems to adjust itself out of wack and once I think ive put it back together i go to start it. It starts and emediatly goes to WOT. Sparks are flying, key wont shut it off so I rip off all the fuel lines. Can anyone help me?

yup. discussed at length here on the forum. ANY TIME YOU MESS WITH THE LINKAGE ON THE SHUT OFF OR IP you need perfect attention to detail and have to be positive it is done right, or you can totally blow your motor.
it's called a runaway diesel... sortof... runaway feeds on motor oil until it explodes.
fuel runaway at least only runs against the IP max fuel limiter. and can be killed by cutting off the fuel supply.
search for runaway diesel read and read.
I'd guess you need a mercedes shop manual to do it right.

unfortunately I do not have that knowledge.
I would contact Whunter. he is a master diesel mechanic and get his insight.
others on the forum may have the info and will likely report in the morning.
it's 11PM here and in detroit (where whunter is) I doubt he would answer the phone, but his # is posted in the Buy Parts link above. he's roy.
sorry I can't help more.

an email is the best way to get ahold of him, and he will respond with pictures and links to info if it's here.

not sure if this will help or not, but it's a similar IP...
http://www.peachparts.com/Wikka/OM602ShutOffValve
I did a google search at the search link above, and found it close to the top... runaway diesel as the search term
I found this too...
Run away diesel, why does it happen?
in this thread... prepare yourself for a lot of reading.

Im too much of a women to go try anything tonight, im still in shock about possibly ruining a blue printed and balanced engine with only 8863 on the clock. But ill most likely end up disconnecting my intercooler piping so i can block it at the manifold. Then do as the write up says and as i should have done and remove the vacuum pod and make sure the sov is in place.

if you want to mess with this remove the intake pipe from the air cleaner so that you can put a piece of wood over the intake and shutoff the airflow to the motor if need be. Or keep a CO2 (NOT DRYCHEM) fire extinguisher and fire it into the intake.
