I am documenting every part of the 560SL restoration build . The idea is to end up with the best documented 560SL rebuilds on the Internet.
I want everyone who visits my channel to know about a friend of mine named Tasos. His videos inspire me to be more like him. He is so much better than I am. You can find his KZbin channel at:

My videos are not sponsored by anyone. The products and tools I use are products and tools I have purchased with my own money. I include links below to any special tools or products used in this video.
I used a DC Power Supply (Variable, 30V 10A Adjustable Switching Regulated DC Bench Power Supply). I have used this for many different tests and I love it:

For cutting the fuel hose I used a ratchet-type tube and pipe cutter. This works great!:

I’m ready and excited for you. As detailed and thorough as you have been, it should fire right up!

I hope you’re right although we are talking about the KE Jetronics. It’s great when it works and a nightmare when it doesn’t.

Man, I missed your live stream last saturday. Had the alarm set for sunday for some weird reason. Did you fire the beast up or did something happen?

[@TonyLiveTV]

You didn't miss it because I ended up in the hospital Friday morning. I had an emergency surgery and I was released yesterday afternoon. I am currently home restricted to bed rest. I hope to setup for a little live stream in the next day or two and ill give everyone the details of what happened.
