I am looking for a picture and the location of the cold start valve for a 1988-300SE

It appears to be up front next to/near the fuel distributor. It is mounted vertically with a metal tube that ends at a 90 degree angle which goes down into the valve. The valve has a flange fitting on it held in place with two allen bolts. Hopefully this helps....

Here's a picture from another M103 engine. Should be same as yours.

Cold Start Valve is coloured Blue between fuel distributor and Valve cover cover. Has an electrical cable out of the top of it.

Thanks to both of you for all the help... Jim
