Hey Dan, it sure is nice to find a young guy with experience working on the classic R129. Keep up the good work!!! I look forward to everything R129 that you do. :)
With your experience would it be best to buy the fuel pressure regulator as well? I have a feeling I’m not getting the right amount of fuel (it only starts sometimes, but when it does it runs great)
If you mean the regulator on the engine, I would severely doubt that is your issue. The filter looking object next to the pumps and filter is the accumulator and actually holds a certain fuel pressure (basic terms). If it is bad fuel will flow back and you may get starting issues. Normally a bad accumulator will show it’s worse signs with warm starts. Hope this helps! Dm me on Instagram at Danswapz if I can help more!

Great video! Thorough but not overly explained. I have a 92 500sl. On cold starts it struggles to start.

Great video, are the two pumps the same or they different from each other? Thanks
They are the same part #, thank you!
Do you have a parts list?
