TO: All who wrote me in need of injector service.

My parts/tools and new catalog just arrived. Injector service is resuming now.

I'm sorry I don't recall who asked me about these but ....
In case anyone needs a new OM61X series vacuum pump diaphragm kit (for an otherwise good pump) I have a couple of spares; up to engine 617.912-108987
Pierburg type MPE 114 S, no. 4.05129.01, Mercedes no. 000 586 41 43

Not everything for everybody but I am working on that. Monark is working on a batch of complete injectors on back order. What's proving hard to find is the SD 310 nozzles for 606 engines. I have a contact in Germany (not Monark) who works with two or three parts wholesalers there and we're waiting to hear back from him. The no cotton gin scrap filter elements are up in the air also.

I think I need to have the injectors on my 300SD reworked.
If I send them to you how long would it take to rework them?
Can you give me an idea of cost including new Monarch nozzles?
Thank you,

Sean here is the pic of that Lapping Plate I bought on eBay.

With all the old used, abused and overtightened carburetors we see, we would have a use for that.

Sean,
Glad to see that you are going to be doing injectors again, I have already PM'd you for prices and particulars.
I see that you guys have expressed an interest in a lapping plate or a surface plate. I have a set of books that give instructions on building machine tools and one of the projects for the mill was a set of homemade surface plates. Basically he took 3 pieces of plate glass and set them in beds of bondo so they would have 100% surface contact, and using valve grinding compound, alternated the 3 against each other. You can get them to dead flat, but it will definatley take some time. After building a couple of this guys designs, I think that If I could find the surface plate for under 250.00, I would buy it instead of making it, but if anyone is interested, Ill scan and email/attach

I'm not the only one interested, some guys I work with are....
I like using plate glass because if you drop it or knock it off the table, it's not a big deal to get more. I had to stop a bike buddy about to use my glass with 320 grit sand paper for a carb slide then got it all fixed up with super fine crocus cloth, it's almost a polish more than an abrasive. Turned out it wasn't the slide - a dead BUG was SOMEHOW in the bowl and plugged the jet.

I'd be interested in a copy of the scans as well, if you're willing to share them.

I don't do that much machining that requires this level of flat polishing, but it comes in useful occasionally.

Comment: A Surface Plate is not exactly the same as a Lapping Plate. A surface Plate just sits there and is used as a precision flat survface for measuring purposes. You are not supposed to do any lapping/grinding on them that would alter the dimensions.

Wher I worked we had a Large Granite Table (Surface Plate) that we set-up our measuring equipment to check the Diesel Crankshafts to see if they were warped/bent.


The Cast Iron Lapping Plates used to be sold in pairs. The Idea was that you use one. after you think the used ones surface is not flat you would take the other plate and lap the 2 together.
After that you wipe it down and put on a thin coating of Prussian Blue (not the spray but the type in a tube like you would do to blue in Engine Vlaves) and put the plates together again and look for low spots on the plate.
If the surface of this new Lapping plate is as described by the seller New. It would take many thousands of Injector Lappings before it need resurfacing.

There are already non cotton gin waste filters around....Turkish FRAM filters have clean cotton string....and Baldwin filters use a paper element....as do the NAPA GOLD filters.
