Warm-Up-Regulator on 1980 450SL

Can anybody tell me where the vacuum line from the Warm-up-regulator connects to?
On my car I have only the black L-shaped rubber hose, but no vacuum line connected to.
I'm talking about the vacuum line on top.

Thanks

Gunter

Gunter,

the warm-up regulator vacum line connects to the top of the contoured hose (it has a short rubber tube protuding from it) which is connected to the auxiliary air valve. It makes the warm-up regulator to activate via the suction on cold start and under load. The rubber hose is located to the right about 20cm from the regulator. It is black and has an "S" shape. It sits just in front of the air filter housing (acutally, the filter housing rests on it). Hope to have been of assistance.

Thanks Anthony

This car is getting to be a nightmare for me.
It is sitting in my basement ready to be painted and every time I try to start the engine its flooding my cylinders and I replaced about everything there is to replace. I'm waiting for a rebuild fuel distributor and hopefully I'm being able to get it started after installing the new one.

You may just have a thermoswitch problem which controls the cold-start valve injector or the injector itself and it is kept open all the time and causing flooding. Let me know if you wish the testing procedures. Once you have resolved this minor irritation you'l enjoy a great car! It's worth the effort! (Think of what you'l learn in the process!!)

Hello Anthony,

I also replaced the thermoswitch and you are right, I learn a lot in this process, it is just so frustrating since my painter is waiting and I have to tell him all the time............well next week its ready to go.
But I hope I have that problem solved real soon.
