1977 mercedes 300d wont start just clicks

So I bought this car and tow started it and it ran for about ten minutes, then drove around for about a mile, then I slowly started to lose control of engine as it was working it's way to shut off. Now when I try starting, it just clicks. I won't to post a video of engine running rough. The blast injector leaks from end plug, but it also bubbles at injection when running. Any help greatly appreciated. I will look for how to get a video loaded.

The click with no crank is the key switch closing the solenoid contacts and there not being enough juice to crank the engine. That is either discharged battery or bad solenoid contacts in the starter. Ask Professor about "crank doesn't start".

Get it to crank then deal with whatever else there is once you have a good starting system.

If it shut itself off, and now won't crank there's a good chance your engine has seized.
