Electrical and Instruments / Re: Fuel Gage Not Working
« Last post by acbrock on Today at 01:26:25 »Yikes! But ok! That is how mine was ( I think) and I switched it around to match that diagram on the Tech Site. I will flop things back in the morning. I think that will make my pins fit better in the connector too. Ok so regardless of COLOR...
W ->Goes to Pin 4
G -> Goes to Pin 6
Pin 4 I got no continuity or Ohm on the Instrument cluster when I test the 3 connections below the bulb
The first connection connected to the 3 Pin Ground
The 2nd to Pin 6
The 3rd to Pin 5 and Pin 6 (Pin 5: 0.4ohm Pin 6: 8.0ohm)
Which is reverse of what I have. So if I correct Fingers crossed I get a fuel gage again.
Thanks for all the help on this crazyiness but it seems like I am one instrument away from having it all sorted out!

Electrical and Instruments / Re: Speedo Stuck?
« Last post by acbrock on Today at 01:14:10 »Ok have all the gauges back in. I have a wire hanging off of the bracket for the instruments that I can ground if I need to. Fired her up and tach works all the gauges on the Instrument lit up (except for fuel because it is not connected yet) and the needle is resting so gently on the pin! I am going to call it and just read about the fuel sender and all those wires that are not adding up. Tomorrow hopefully I figure that out! Damnit as I am typing I realize I did not trace the wires to the dash lamp from the door when I had everything out. Oh well I guess it would not fun if I did it the easy way.

Drive train, fuel, suspension, steering & brakes / Re: M129 idling issues
« Last post by Benz Dr. on May 24, 2024, 22:02:36 »You can replace the cam without removing the head. Remove all of the head bolts but leave the chain case screws in place. As long as you don't break the seal between the head and block you should be OK.
Remove the nuts that hold the cam bearings in place and remove the oiler tube. After you remove the chain tensioner you should have enough slack to remove the cam gear. Zip tie the chain on to the gear before you remove it. The gear should slide off the camshaft with light taps with a plastic hammer.
You might want to remove the valve rockers and will need to for access to the cam tower nuts.
Sounds like you tried everything with the carbs so the cam is a decent call.

Electrical and Instruments / Re: Fuel Gage Not Working
« Last post by lpeterssen on May 24, 2024, 21:45:17 »oh boy. I am confused now. From the diagram below from the tech manual doesn't it show the Blue/Green wire going to the G Pin? And that pin would be under the Ground so where you have Blue Black in your connector?
That drawing is definitely mistaken
Looked for another book with MB wiring diagrams and confirmed that what ai posted is correct
Fuel sender terminal
Pin 1= blue/black
Pin 2 = blue/green
Pin 3= ground

Electrical and Instruments / Re: Fuel Gage Not Working
« Last post by acbrock on May 24, 2024, 21:24:34 »Ok Speedo back in. Testing the Instrument Gage. All lights are now good. One was blown but for the Oil Pressure. Not sure how to test this thing but just went with the OHM. So I tested the 3 areas under the Gas Light. 1 had Continuity with Pin 4 Ground, 2 had continuity with Pin 6 and 3 Had continuity with Pin5 and Pin6 ---0.6 on Pin 5 and 8.0 on Pin 6. I am guessing if I am getting readings then this part of it is ok so I am going to put it back in.
