Can I install a new style primer pump on my 1976 300D
My 1976 300D w115 is missing a fuel primer pump. I think it came with one mounted to the fuel filter housing. Can I remove the plug on my fuel lift pump and install a new stye primer such as the monarch one you sell? Thanks, Chuck

'74 240D 115 Motor Mounts (w/AC)
Today I received my right motor mount and install instruction. Thanks for the timely shipping.
I have the left motor mount on order with MB. My understanding is that the left motor mount is much different in shape and install.
The instuctions do not cover the install of this left mount. Do you have any additional tips, or suggestions for this mount install?
Thanks in advance.

The rear passenger turn signal is not working. The brake right works and the front passenger turn signal also is working. I have replaced the bulb and cleaned the contacts. Still not working.
Any tips?

Electric Fuel Boost Pump
I installed Kent's Electric Fuel Boost Pump kit 3 years ago and it has been working great until recently. It's clicking away really fast. I pulled the bleed plug out of my filter and the pump is barely pumping the fuel/veggie oil. I disconnected the fuel line right before the lift pump and very little WVO is coming out of the fuel line. Did same thing right before I.P. and again the fuel is barely coming out of the fuel line. Yet the EFBP is pumping like crazy. Does the EFBP just need to be cleaned? Can I take the EFBP apart to clean it out or is it just worn out and time to replace it?
