There is a series of related topics in the drivetrain section of the forum each having to do with solving interrelated problems with ignition tune-up, linkage adjustment, fuel/ air mixture,
Cold start, altitude compensation, vacuum, and more. These things drive us shade tree mechanics crazy trying to understand them.
Here is the question: did M Benz have a handle on this back in the day? Did the dealers know how to service and solve the problems of these cars when they were on the street after a couple of years running? My experience with 911’s is that Porsche only tried to run mechanical injection for one or two years and quickly went to Bosch Jetronik quickly (not a perfect solution considering blowing up intake boxes). What was the consensus of the day regarding MB service on the 113 cars?
