220 1951 MB Sedan
6 cyl
- we have compression of about 40
- Have spark
- PROBLEM ... compression coming through carb
The car sat for 1 year without being started. The only other time it was driven was just prior to that for 25 miles and there was no smoke either from exhaust or engine. The only smoke came from trying to start it and the started burned out. We replaced that and it never started again. It does turn over and has new spark plugs.
I have a 1972 280se 108.067 4.5 Mercedes. I had a problem with the
Ignition COntrol Unit and placed a wire in the car's plugin recepticle
(to ICU) connecting 2 of the plugins tabs. Thus bypassing the ICU
completely. I have tried a new ICU and it didn't solve my problem. It
runs??
My question is, by installing a Crane Electronic Ignition, will this
eleviate the ICU problem and improve the car's performance?
Thank you for reading this inquiry.
64 220se coupe bogs at full throttle and seems to run a little ruff at other times. when it does bog it sort of feels like it dies for a second or 2. i'm not at all familiar with this old fi system either. it doesn't backfire. the rest of the performance seems ok.
