My 85 500sel euro is having problems like it is flooding when it starts and runs. Does my car have a carb or not one person says yes one says no. And if so should i rebuild it because it has never been done before. or what other things would make it look like the engine is flooding.
thanks |

MB made no post war V8s with carburators. I would totally quit listening to the carb adviser. And I definitely wouldn't rebuild it.

Me Too (1987 560 SEL) flooding
I also am having a flooding situation. Last I went to the car it had a puddle of fuel under it (mid engine compartment passenger side, puddle location). I looked for and could not find the source of fuel leak. It started ok after that, then this morning it will not start. Turns over fine, I can smell fuel. No puddle I can see. All fuses are ok. Does not seem to be a spark. I'll try again when I get home.
