Re: [Chrysler300] Carburetor, Coke?

["Karl Peterson" <longrammopar@xxxx>]

Interesting indeed! My experience with "Coke" is that is makes an excellent 
"glue". You want something to stick together?.....put some Coke on both 
surfaces and let it sit in the sun for a couple hours. Once that sugar in 
the Coke begins to dry and harden, (like inside the little passages in a 
carburetor), you'll wish you had simply bought some over-the-counter carb 
cleaner in a spray can.
