My cl350 is in rough and dire shape, and has been for awhile now.
When idling, the right cylinder will spit water (that smells slightly of gas) from the muffler.
Everything I've read on the issue suggests this is a rich running condition, and it would seem so - the right pipe has started to turn color.
My compression numbers are both 170psi on each side, the timing is in check, and the valves are adjusted.
I attempted to sync the carbs. (work in progress, aha. Uni-Sync in mail)
My question is this - both carbs are set to 1 1/8th on the air/fuel mix. Why is the right cylinder running much hotter than the other and spraying water out the pipe?
The cylinder is also smoky when I pull the plug - and only on that side. Upon revving it shoots white smoke and spits gas.
Someone please convince me not to rip the carbs out and swap in vm30s, I'm at my wits end.
