    W124 200 carburettor sometimes hard to start when hot

    W124 200 carburettor sometimes hard to start when hot

    W124 200 carburettor sometimes hard to start when hot

    I don't hear the buzz of an electric pump on turning the key so assume it is mechanical as carboretored . It starts well cold and runs really well so I am thinking fuel starved or vapourised by hot engine bay / weak non return valve
