I know nothing about this motor so this is a stab in the dark from my Mercedes background. Mercedes will often have starting problems all the way up to a no start due to horribly out of adjustment valves (recommended service ever 10K but I picked up a 76 300D that had never had it done, and the people were told it needed a motor

). I know somebody had mentioned this earlier but I just thought I would throw in how bad the benz problem is thinking maybe it could be on this too. Hey man good luck, hope ya get it runnin'.
