230sl fuel problems
« on: December 05, 2014, 18:15:02 »
Have 230sl 1965 and not fireing on all cylinders. Have done compression test and is ok. Injectors are also ok and changed the fuel filter. What is happening on cylinders 1, 2, 3 there is plenty of fuel. On cylinders 4, 5, 6 there is only a dribble of fuel. Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be.

Thanks

Check to see if the rack of the injection pump is stuck.

When I first got my 230SL I had a similar issue. I pulled the injection pump out along with the injectors and had it rebuild. Best thing I ever could have done.
