Hello, let me start by apologizing for the limited info I have thus far.
I am in the process of purchasing a bus from somebody and they also have a 2005 Thomas with a Mercedes
engine that suddenly decided not to start. The man is willing to give me a nice discount off my bus if I can help him with this problem. The bus is about an hour from me and I have not seen the problem first hand. What I have been told is it was running fine, the bus was parked for a couple months and now it cranks but won't start. He replaced the fuel filter which didn't help. They have it sold if it will start. Does anyone have any suggestions of anything to try or where to start?
I am an auto mechanic but don't know much of anything about diesels. Thanks for any help!!!
