W123 200 Carb adjustment

[3ps]

Hi all,

I am picking up a W123 200 this weekend. It has a Stromberg carb. The car seems to drive well, it's pulls cleanly except from very low revs (I think!).

Anyway, the revs are dropping too low when warm.

I have a bit of a drive to get it home. Does anybody know hoe to adjust the warm idle on it and if it's something I could do quickly before the trip?

Thanks!

On a car with a carb toy will have the adjustable idle screw on the throttle stop. there should be a mixture screw.

On the picture in the link you can see a screw right at the bottom on the right, with a spring under it, that is the idle mixture screw, and you turn it for the best idle when warm.

I think it is the same carb

thanks for that. It doesn't really look like the one I saw but then again I wasn't really paying too much attention. I will have a go!

Perhaps this is a stupid question... but can these cars be converted away from carbs without too much hassle? any kind of plug and play solution? Obviously I would keep all the bits and pieces so it could be returned to original (it's a nice car with only 46k on it!) but I will be using it daily so perhaps I should check this out?

There is no easy way to convert to injection, only by having a donor car and move it all over. It would need the inlet manifold and all to do it
