[W126 Coupe] Fuel problems

[Jonathan Hodgman]

whew...well, I think if I were in your shoes I would start w/ just
replacing what's there w/ the new stuff you have.  We know your old
injectors are shot, so why waste time ya know?  About your CO, I'm
certain it's WAY out of whack..  The CO is a very sensitive
adjustment, if you ever get the chance to adjust it while your car is
on an exhaust gas analyzer you'll see a little turn goes a long way. 
Did you keep track of how many turns you made at all?  If so, I would
try your best to get back to that spot.

Let me know if it still won't start w/ the new injectors installed and
we'll tackle that puppy..
