Question Will an OM601 run without the battery?
Howdy,

I changed out the fuel return lines on Saturday and accidently knocked off a vacuum line. As a result, the car wouldn't stop. That got me to thinking: Will an OM601 run without battery also? I know older 616/617 engines would, but I also know the 601 has a fuel pump located at the injection pump. What I don't know if the fuel pump is electric or if it is driven by a push rod.

Just curious. The fuel line changeout was about the easiest job I've done on any MB to date.

Thanks,

Sholin
