Re: [Chrysler300] two questions



I hope there is an answer to this hard-starting problem.  It's pretty 
annoying.  If I start the K every day, it's fine.  If I let it sit for 2 days, it 
will sometimes start then stop.  This, I think, tells me that there's fuel in the 
carb, but not in the line.  If it sits more than 2 days, it's cranksville 
until the battery almost runs down.  I've had 3 different fuel pumps in it, 3 
different single quad carbs ( 2 Carter rebuilt themoquads and a reman Edelbrock) 
on an old Offy manifold, and the ram setup with 2 rebuilt 3505s.  None made a 
difference.  I've been told that the modern fuels evaporate faster than they 
used to, but it's hard to believe that's it.

There has to be a simple answer to this.  These cars didn't behave like this 
when they were new.

I know that an electric fuel pump can solve this, but there's some concern 
over there being too much fuel pressure, and how to hook it up ( flow through 
the existing pump or bypass it?).  Also, this should not be necessary to make 
our cars run like new.

Any more ideas?  Thanks.
