Great. Thanks for replying- I have a 300SL 1988- the fuel mixture is very rich, keeps fouling the plugs with soot, tried adjusting the mixture screw but no good. Could the fuel distributor need overhauling? The had been sitting for a couple of years - any thoughts please. Thanks

@@donjohnson4368 my suggestion is firstly to check to make sure that the warm control pressure is correct after warm-up. If the control pressure is too low after warm-up the air/fuel mixture will be too rich the whole speed range and that can cause the spark plugs to be flooded with fuel.
