560 Sec Poor Idle & Lumpy

[docker]

Greetings all from sunny Suffolk, I am now the proud owner of a nice 1990 560 sec and have got the problem of it seems to be idling a bit to low untill hot, could this be adjusted if so how? also the engine seems a bit lumpy, but I must add it has been stood for nearly a year. Can any one out there advise. Many thanks Karl.

That hurt me reading that link, all so basic, even with car electrics today,90% are still basic faults.

Have today had a look at the beast and found the fault to be the throttle valve as some twit has drilled a hole in it and put in self TAPPER!!. So when i removed said screw it ran to fast but smooth so unit is faulty, called Mercedes and they quoted me &*&^*^ plus vat!!! So I called GSF and yes you guessed it not listed dealer only. So I will now troll the breakers adn Ebay. . Karl
