86 sdl lack of power / black smoke

Well after driving my sdl from OK to kansas city . It has lack of power on take off. Less power than a ford festiva .

I have tried the diesel purge aux tank method to not much luck .

I have to give the car a shot of spray to get it to start . And once it's warmed up it will start back once shut off. If left to cool down I have to spray again. Car shows 265xxx on odometer . I was told by seller only 100k on engine. Starting to have doubts.

I removed the intake hose from the turbo . I tried to turn turbo with my finger . Turbo turned freely .
This is my first turbo car and first mercedes .

Body is in good condition and I would like to have it running right . Even running bad it rides like a dream. So time to replace my old beater jeep .

Wife says to nice to use for my go to work car ( I do hot tar roofing ) . So trying to find another one to buy now .
So any help is appreciated .
