Why does my 72 350SL idle up and down?
The reason for the up/down idle is that the closed throttle decel cut-off is initiated at around 1800rpms. That means that at 1800 rpms with the throttle closed the fuel is cut untill the idle speed drops to 1200 or so, where fuel delivery resumes. If you wish to see how high it would have idled, pull the throttle switch wire.
