A week or so ago, I sent out a message about no gasoline flowing to combustion chamber on my 1984 380SE. I had the car carted off to garage. Mechanic rapped on fuel pump while I turned the key, and presto, it started. Problem was fuel pump, which was original equipment. Had pump and filter replaced (about $500), and she now purrs like a kitten. If anyone else has similar problem, you might want to remember giving the fuel pump a rap when turning the key. It can at least help in an emergency situation. Cheers, everybody.
