I did not know the drip method was valid for the OM60X - learn something new everyday.

Since he may be re-visiting the timing lets also review a couple of often forgotten drip timing gotcha's. I'm assuming the procedure for the 60X is the
same as the 61X.

1) Don't forget to remove the delivery check valve on the number one cylinder

2) Don't forget to set the throttle linkage wide open before you start the delivery test.

3) Don't forget to have plenty of rags around....

It seems like you would also have to wire up a manual fuel feed pump since the OM60X engines don't have hand powered fuel primer pumps.

Please tell us how you mounted the pump when the engine was re-assembled and the specifics of the procedure you used to time it via the drip method.
