Recently there was discussion of a shaking Pagoda. It would idle smoothly then shake when underway. I seem to have an opposite problem.
Yesterday, I started up the 230SL with the hood up. Started right up and basically idled smooth (a little fluctuating but generally in the 900-1000 range. When warm it settles in at about 850). Anyway, I noticed the whole engine was shaking pretty noticeably. I eventually closed the hood and was on my way to the Post Office. Once there, I was curious and looked again. Now it was idling like a happy kitten -- no real movement except my battery was a little jiggy. What do ya suppose makes it so shaky at start up?
