Hi All,
IF anyone can help me get the R107 back running I would be very appreciative.
I bought the car knowing that the previous owner said it needs a fuel distributor rebuilt. My buddy tried,,,
So fuel distributor leaked from one of the screws that holds it together. I disassembled and reassembled the fd (following
CIS fuel distributer cleanout w/pics - Page 2 - Pelican Parts Technical BBS ) and the leak is gone, but the car still doesn't run.
When I crank, she fires right up, runs about 3-5 seconds and dies. So I know that the ignition is OK and that the Cold Start valve is spitting fuel for the start.
I tired half throttle, full throttle, no dif.
I am suspecting a block fuel return (when I took the fd apart most of the small O rings were torn, so there might be a chunk of rubber blocking the return. Problem is, I don't know which is the return. Also notice the messed up blue connector. I have no idea what that thing is for, or what it doe, but I don't want to keep messing with the fuel lines if the blue connector can cause a no run situation.
Any suggestions?
The car is a 1976 450SL with 86K miles.
