hi
I have a 1985 280SL with a M110 engine. Haynes (and other references online) give me the timing marks for all other types apart from the 990 variant. haynes has the spec for M110 989 and M110 988 etc
can anyone confirm the timing for this specific engine? M110 990?
in addition, does anyone know how to adjust the mixture? i think its running a bit rich and i'd like to reduce it very slightly.... is it the push down allan key? the thing you need to push down into the unit and then turn? i dont have any specific equipment, so was thinking of adjusting it my a few degrees and seeing how it goes.... or should i just leave well alone, without the proper kit. my method i thought of was to adjust it very slightly, remembering how much i moved it by..... if somethings up, i can just move it back..... ???!
