Some advice/help folks, My W124 is giving me start problems right now.
I have searched for answers and have replaced various parts I don't want to keep throwing parts at it.
Anywhoo she was driving then I laid her up for winter but give a run once month to keep her right, then one evening a couple of months ago she would only fire and run with bonnet open.
So I've been trying to get her running ever since, replaced the rotor arm as it had built up too much resistance, OVP, dizzy cap, leads, plugs put in fresh fuel.
Plugs are wet but black carboned, she will crank for ever and occasionally will fire with high idle, blip the throttle to bring down revs eventually she will die out and won't start again.
She was running sweet up until winter, so ideas appreciated cos I'm like
