you can avoid taking the pins out by removing the electric motor from the reservoir.... take the 2 bolts out holding the trim motor to the trim reservoir these are on top of the motor near the wires...then take off the motor and you have easier access to the reservoir bolts...before all this drain the reservoir then go in reverse to install it all.

From first hand experience, I can tell you oil drips down, shorts out that connector, blows a fuse and the engine cuts out without warning!! I would suggest this is checked every time the car is serviced to avoid you being dumped in the middle of nowhere, a very serious risk in my experience

Hello sir . I just got a boat and it came with the same motor . I got a new gas tank new battery but when I plugged all in to see if the motor start . There was gas pouring out thru the bottom part of the carburetor. Do you know why would that be ? Is the carburetor supposed to have such a constant high flow of gas without even cranking the engine?

Thanks, just did it on my 2006 CLK350, it was a T30 for the M272 engine. A cable was zip tied to the sensor, so that made it even harder to get a small set of wire cutters down there. Whoever assembled the engine cut a number of zip ties at a 45-degree angle making a very sharp pointed end that scratched up my arm, lots of blood for this job. Removed the mass air flow sensor (did not disconnect the wiring, just moved it aside). Used a number of 1/4 inch extensions on a 72 tooth ratchet, one being a flexible extension. I taped all the extensions together as well as the T30 bit to ensure they did not come apart. Installed the new sensor with the bolt in place and hand threaded it as much as possible. The job would not have been possible without good lighting and a number of telescopic mirrors to let me see the job. Australian car, right-hand drive.

I would drive it for half an hour, before the lights started to dim. Luckily there were some pot hole that I drove over and the alternator charged the battery enough to get me home. Attempting to change the alternator today.
