My 1981 380SLC

My 380SLC starts and idles fine; when it is hot it idles fine; but when it is moving from cold start to hot start it dies. My mechanic fidled with the richness adjustment, but he did not fix it.




Also, even though I have new master cylinder, new booster, the brake peddle likes to go all the way to floor before it starts to grab. I can pump it up, but next time - again all the way to floor. I have checked brake fluid level and it is topped off. Could there be a vacuum leak?
Any assistance on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Were the brakes properly bled? You may have some air trapped which can cause the brake pedal to feel 'mushy'
