Loose weight until it's doesn't creak.

I used to have a 1984 Mercedes 300D, bought it new. I did all my own work on it so bought the official paper service manuals (not cheap). If the mechanical fuel injection wasn't right, the motor would shake a bit at idle. The Germans knew this was no problem, so the text of the service manual said, "Adjust the idle fuel regulator nut until the complaint stops."
