Hi!
Recently, my 190E has developed a problem when I try and start her the first thing in the morning. Specifically, the engine will crank then briefly sputter for a few seconds and then die. This cycle repeats itself about 5 - 10 times before she finally starts. Once the engine does starts it seems to run fine and will restart without issue as long as I don't let it sit for more then 10 hours or so. I recently did a complete tune-up but it did not fix the problem.
Is there some sort of cold-start system that primes the engine that could be failing? Any tests I can perform to confirm the culprit? Any help / advice would be appreciated!
Cheers!
