Since changing the fuel distributor is really not difficult I decided to put
the
old one back on and see what happens. It started up pretty quick and ran rough
with excessive white smoke. I assume

However the KE-jet system was used in other cars, so a good Bosch
service centre may be the go.
Overall the system is not that complicated but diagnoses is easier with
the right tools and knowledge.

I remember these, they can be cleaned with a bit of carby cleaner and
the missus toothbrush.
From memory they do help to regulate the flow or some such thing but
more importantly act as a last line of defence to stop nasties getting
into the FD.
Also lets consider that the FD rebuilder makes

Count the turns so you can put it back the same later if you put the old fuel
distributor back in.

The main leaks on a K-jet system are at the idle speed control valve,
the boot on the throttle body, and the hose at the cold start valve.
Note that a cold start valve failed open will flood the engine badly
at idle.
Here's what I would do:
Remove the air filter housing and verify that
Pay attention to Peter.
I haven't worked seriously on k-jet in over 20 years, so I often remember this
stuff when I read Peter saying what I should have remembered.

Thanks Mitch.
I'm still battling mine, I suspect I need to bite the bullet and take
the fuel distributor off and clean everything up. Just put a new
regulator on the alternator today, battery went flat between Monday
(when it started at -4) and Friday night. Good thing it didn't poop
Thanks for the great feedback! I have quite a it to work with. I will keep
the group informed

Hi Guys,
I still have an issue with rough idle and hesitation during acceleration on
my 1990 300E w/90K that I haven't been able to fix. So far I replaced the
fuel filter, fuel pumps, oxygen sensor, coolant temperature sensor,and EHA
valve...problem still there!
My latest part
OK I am not sure what differences there are between the US and Euro
model 300E, we got the Euro version here, however I don't think there
any 'major' differences.
The US and Japan 103.983 engines got a MAS relay for some reason,
apparently pin 1 is battery, pin 2 is feed to fuel pumps
