w123 diesel fuel injection pump

I have a 300td -84 thats running lean and i wonder how to adjust the amount of fuel. I know how to adjust the timing.
Im also looking for exploded views on the pump.
Its the "new" pumptype not the old one that was mounted on the -76 -> 80(?) modells.

forgive my bad english, its a bit rusty...

The,

Does the IP have and ALDA on it? If the engine is turbo charged, it has an ALDA. The easiest way to change the fuel delivery is to adjust the ALDA.

Use the search to find out about adjusting the ALDA.

Running Lean ??

Please explain what you mean by "running lean".

As far as I know, all diesels should run "lean" ie, there is an excess of air in the combustion chamber, over what is required for complete combustion. The exception to this is at full power, where there is a possibility of over fuelling causing black smoke.

Adding more fuel to a diesel at idle, increases the RPM of the motor.
If the Injection pumop is under-fuelling, there will be a loss of power causing poor acceleration and possibly a reduction in maximum speed.

Since you can't run lean on a diesel I think maybe you need to check the filters and change them if you don't know when they were last changed. These filters will cause the engine to seem to have low power.

Thats not the question....

The,

Any adjustments to the IP are best done by a competent Diesel injection shop.

Mercedesshop member gsxr has information on the OM603 injection pump. But to my knowledge, nobody in Diesel Discussion has the information you want about the 617. One of the moderators in the Tech Help section, stevebfl owns a Bosch certified repair center, so he probably has the stuff you want.

There does exist a Bosch Manual on the inline injection pumps.... Randy Leo has one...and I borrowed it long enough to figure out it was way over my head...
I second PEH's suggestion that adjusting the pump is a trained shop activity... unless you have a backup pump and are ready to install it.
PEH, that is five times in 2 years we have agreed.... one of us must be slipping.....
