R129 fuel problems

[johnandcrew]

I have checked the dizzy cap and ht leads, all look newish and very clean , no build up of gunk (me thinks the previous owner has tried to sort this) I have noticed the ignition coil wire looks like it has been getting very hot so will order a new one Tues.

Acceleratiing power issues???

Hi everyone, new 300sl member here. I have just bought a 1992 300SL with 146000 on the clock. The car is in great condition, no rust, all electrics work, new roof, cylinder head done in 2007, all with substantial MB service records etc etc. The problem I am having is there is a noticeable lack of power when accelerating. The car runs fine and idles ok, but when you put the foot down it is slow on building speed. When up at 40mph or so, it is fine as is the kick down, but I did notice that it had not had a service for a couple of years and 22000 miles ago. Hoping that this is the issue I have booked it in for a major service with my independant garage and bought new Distributor, rotor, HT leads, plugs, oil air and fuel filters. I am hoping that this along with engine and gearbox oil change will rectify the issue. Does anyone have any advice or similar problems and resolutions?
Thanks
