[Chrysler300] Carburetion Question!!! - reply

["John J. Hertog" <crossram@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tom,

What you are describing is pretty apparent - lack of fuel when trying to 
start the car after extended sitting periods.  The fuel evaporates and/or 
drains back out of the carbs. The only 100% for sure "cure" for this symptom 
is to install an auxiliary electric pump. Properly installed at the rear, by 
the tank, this switch-controlled unit would push fuel all the way up to the 
front when turned on, and fill up the bowls on the carbs with fuel.  then 
start the car, turn off the electric pump, and you're done.

My 300G is equipped with such a critter. Even after weeks of sitting, it's 
always an easy start.  It sure beats cranking and cranking and cranking and 
cranking to get fuel up to the carbs using the factory mechanical pump.  So 
far it's been years since I have had to replace the starter, and I believe 
this is in great part because I don't have to use it a lot, to crank and 
crank and crank...

John Lazenby sells a small, easy to install "straight-through" unit that 
will allow fuel to flow through it even when turned off.   E-mail him at:
