Hi -
new to this group[1] - but here we go:
the other day my petrol '85 W123 200 (engine 102) suddenly failed to accellerate when I pressed the pedal. The more pressure, the more the engine stalled. When the pedal was released, it normalised low power output; idling, starting etc works as usual. Basically, it goes, but progress is painfully slow.
Any suggestions what causes this? Split carburettor membrane?
Thanks for any help,
[1]this car has been totally reliable the years I've had it, so I lack basic fault diagnosis & repair experience !
