Brilliant! I have the same problem on my 1983 280SE W126. Cold start very good on first turn. Warm start a bit iffy - needs 3-4 attempts. Thank you for providing a possible solution!
I think that you mean the rubber fuel hose that goes from the accumulator nipple to the fuel damper? I believe I measured mine as a 6mm inner diameter fuel hose. There is no part number. I went to AutohausAZ online and ordered a piece of 6mm ID fuel hose and two new clamps and it worked just fine.
I loosened the fitting and spun the crush washer a little bit, retightened the banjo bolt and no more leaks. I think there was a little raised spot on the new filter or on the crush washer. It’s been many months since the repair and all is well.
Thank You! A true classic that I enjoy cruising in. Also, a lot of family history here. It will be in our family for many generations, as long as I maintain it!
