I Have an 1983 123,Mercedes Benz Coupe diesel and Would like to know How to turn the idle up 900RPM. Any help advise would be helpful.e-mail Brubaker72@gmail.com
I have an 82 and there is an adjustment nob on the dash under the dimmer, looks like a big plastic wing nut sorta. turn counter clockwise to raise idle the other way to lower idle. also if it's like my 82 under the hood where the throttle cable goes thru the bracket before it connects to linkage, there is an adjustment bolt and lock nut. screw it in or out to adjust. if the 83 is different sorry I tried.
Hi Kent, I just wanted to drop you a line. I set the valves with your wrenches, did the purge, and then changed the filters.. she is running great! I just wanted to thank you for the SUPER directions and tech help. Needless to say, we will be doing business in the future.
do you have an idle adjustment on the dash
