Do you still offer this service? what do you charge?

Hey, I got the same carb on my mercedes 280s but I can't find an airfilter for it. Could you please recommend me some pancake style airfilters?

So what happens if you pump the theottle and it doesn’t spray into intake?

I misspoke, not checking a booster. LOL

This video says "fix" , you fixed nothing

good knowledge able video

What were you guys going to say at the end? The video cut off early

hello i recently aquire this carb, but i was missing one of the pump jet weight and bearing. if you can help me out on the model number of this carburetor i will be greatfull

Thank You for sharing Your knowledge in all of Your videos.

Really great video for these carbs.. explained things in an easy way to understand

So many people were there before you. But you ll be the last and the better

Interesting! Some questions though: 1) Why do only 2 of the 4 throats have a 'choke' flap (as opposed to a throttle flap deeper in the carb? 2) Why were you varying the engine revs with the choke levers, instead of setting the flap at, say, 60 degs or 45degs. and letting the engine high-idle during warm-up? (I assume this is what the driver would 'set' from inside the car? 3) If the choke flap IS set at , say 45 degs, and you rev the engine via the throttle spindle, what happens then, does it flood out / overfuel at 84 deg F?

Wow, that is so cool! I’ve never seen a test machine for a brake booster before! But then that booster is a unique old Mercedes design, and I’ve never worked on one that old. I’ve always liked the old Benzes, had an ‘83 300D turbo about 20 years ago, and I was very impressed with the robust design of the car.

Worked on many 190 SL"s and Solex carbs over the years.

Hi. Very interesting lesson video. I think these overhanging carbuetors have a support bearing then to the down part of the engine. Could you please make a demonstration on this?. And as I know, this support has different parts as the model year changes

I believe that you can set up the timing correctly by wether renewing the camshaft pulley that might be worn, wether adding a new woodruf key on the camshaft to re synchronise by 3° the pulley and the camshaft

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Better than new. Noisy engine. But so it is. Noisy. But smoothly running. I prefer this noise to a Lamborghini,s.

Amazing information thank you for sharing Mr. Will

Nice!

Hi. I watched your video with a broad smile on my face. I liked and like the way you explain things in simple terms ( for the layman I am). Thank you much. For the Solex carburetor, I bought it in Germany with all its parts. Supposedly, it should have been working smoothly, as the guy told me it was repaired and ready to be installed. Anyway, Solexes are solexes. To answer you, I guess there are some five to ten 190 SLs in Morocco. Not many. For the seat adjusters, I could buy ( from Germany) some needed parts to replace the broken ones including the rubbers. It was more economical : 130 Dollars instead of 720 (roughly speaking. If your db50 white colour 190 SL is yours, I want to tell you that it's a beautiful classic colour and that mine is also of this colour, and that I resisted many friends who recommended me to opt for metallic grey. Thank you again.

Hi, I'm Nabil of Morocco. I have some issues with my solex carburetor on my 1959 190 SL. The issue is that it has a very high and noisy idle as it stands at the number 20, but when I accelerate with dead weight once or twice, the car calms down and the idle goes between sevent and twelve. So what to check.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hello wfs52 Do you by any chance provide a service to rebuild Solex Carb PAITA 32 I belive on my 1958 Mercedes 220S Ponton. Thank you, Ray

Video goes blank for 3-4 minutes

My brake fluid comes out of the air filter end when I push the brake pedal, can these seals etc still be purchased? hopefully meaning brake fluid hasn't got to the vacuum can.

Hey there, thanks so much for your vast amounts of knowledge - I’ve been using this channel heaps to work on my 1956 220S. I’ve acquired this car recently and it is missing some of the brake components, such as the brake master cylinder including push rods etc - I was wondering whether you could show me what the brake pedal assembly should look like from underneath and how it operates as I don’t have any of the components on my vehicle and don’t know what I need to purchase in order to put it all back together. Much appreciated again!

Nice info, looks like a manual from Todd Walrich (RIP) with his hand written notes in it.

Very helpful public service advisory - not for the faint of heart - good to see where another cliff lies…

Hi. As sophisticated, complex and heavy as an ancient Becker radio😂

Hi. Could you make a demonstration on how seat hinges work. I am refurbishing my 190 sl of 1959 but I noticed their condition was poor

Hello there, i have a 1982 mazda Rx-7 with a single mikuni solex 44PHH on a 13B mazda Rotary engine, it was running well until a week ago i took it to a track day and now it seems to be rather rich at idle, ive watched a number of your technical videos and have checked and cleaned all my jets, mixture screws and they're bores and needle/seat and can confirm that the needle and seat is holding 2-2.5 psi of fuel pressure no problem, is their another component that pertains to the idle circuit im overlooking? The last week has been considerably more humid and hot than ive ever experienced the car in as i purchased it in September of 23' could the weather be effecting the carb that much?

Don’t be proud if you were using sealant! That’s a no go on these carbs.

Thats a nice detail, I'm rebuilding my Mikuni's right now, I'll look for that adjuster,

Hi. They look complete and not cracked. They need good service

Great job , any videos to putting all these parts together?

Hi. I need to know how many of these clamps would I need for my 190 sl of 1959, in terms of number and size. Thank you for answering

Two speeds but at driver's side only

We keep learning from you

Thanks for this video, just about to look onto my 1957 180a ponton box so this is very useful 👌

Thank you matey, I have 1960 220s working on now and she is revving a little high

Interesting

Thanks for the very informative videos. Could you suggest a supplier of diaphragms, seals etc for the ATE brake boosters, please?

Hi. Me again Nabil From Morocco Very thankful to you for your videos. All of them are interesting and pertinent. I'm working on the steering wheel from within the cab, installing the contact plate. The chrome round part of the steering wheel got to llose. My electrician didn't install a round copper part that comes beneath and is telling me it doesn't fit. Could you make a demonstration for me on this

Hola amigo, tengo una duda, los rocker arms se puede lijar para quitar el desgaste pero cuánto se puede limar? Mi Mercedes tiene demasiado desgaste y además acá no hay refacciones, estos rocker arms se pueden reparar de algún modo? Saludos desde México

Where do you purchase spec sheets for distributors thanks

Don't see a lot of distributor work anymore. Especially a proper Bosh unit. Looks good to me!

FYI - Shifter boot install problem at the end of the video. After shredding several boots myself trying to force the chrome cover over the boot, I went to the MB Manual. The correct sequence is laid out pretty clearly. The chrome cover goes on first, THEN the boot. When seated properly the cover reveals the groove that accepts the lip on the bottom of the boot. The boot actually sits in the grove, on top of the chrome cover. Very simple once the assembly sequence is correct. Bill A.
