Me again new problem with 500SE

[Charlotte001]

Can anyone let me know where the idle screw is plz and not the fuel mix screw for the Bosch Fuel system. Number 0438120170

I have replaced the leads, plugs, cap, rotor arm and coil now the car is running a bit like a tin can in a concrete mixer so I need to get the gadget box out .

suggest you look at "coughs and splutters thread" as there are so many reasons for a poor running engine.

Problem has been located to 500SE

It's about time that I have located the problem to my non starting 500SE (1985)

It turns out the air duct (large rubberised component under fuel system) has a large hole in the base of it.

I've checked with MB it's only £80, wondering if anyone would have one laying around or know where I can locate one. Euro and GSF don't have them, I have found one in the USA but the company doesn't ship to UK

the mb part number is :115 1400018

I think you are refering to your charcoal filter this effects preasure in tank,etc
and is all part of the fuel feedback loop

nope this is the part which connects to the fuel system

Nope this is a large rubberised moulded part that the fuel distributor bolts onto.
