May 8, 2019
Our objective is to investigate the poor running of our 1953 Mercedes 220 engine. Already, we have discovered a defect in the carburettor. As you can see from the images below, we have laid a flat edge across the top and one edge shows a slight concave whereas the other shows a convex. This should be completely flat and these are very minor but enough for the carburettor to be operating with a weakness.
We have now stripped the carb and flattened the edge all over to remove the imperfections before rebuilding.
Re-routing the pipework

During this weekend’s Ipswich to Felixstowe run an unusual noise had appeared whilst driving.
Now in our workshops to be investigated we have diagnosed it to be coming from the crankshaft breather pipe knocking against the exhaust.
Having now re-routed the pipework the noise seems to have gone and the car is now back at home.

We are fitting new groove and drill up-rated discs, pads and calipers. We are fitting a Series 3 set up and installing new easy bleed pipework.
