Default 1980 450SL starts easy but won’t idle

My 1980 450SL starts and idles great when it’s cold. As soon as the engine warms up it dies. It will start and run as long as I keep my foot on the accelerator. As soon as I take my foot off it dies again. It seems to be trying to idle below 500 RPM when it gets warm. I have changed the fuel pump, fuel filter, and all the vacuum lines that I know of. Other than that this car has been sitting since 2014. What would cause this issue? Could it be the accumulator?
