Re: [Chrysler300] Chrysler 300H idle speed

Michael,

A "hunting" condition at any idle speed can be caused by a defect in the centrifugal spark advance mechanism in the distributor, usually a weak (stretched)  or broken spring.  Don't overlook that as a possibility after checking more obvious things that are easier to get to.

Yes, it idles especially rough the lower it goes. It also seems to “hunt� between 500 and 600.

 I discovered a couple of vacuum leaks yesterday and thought I had fixed them by removing the base gaskets from the carburetors, cleaning them, and forming a very small (cross section-like a pencil lid) of form-a -gasket  on all 8  surface and reassembled them. It’s hard to believe I still have a vacuum leak but certainly possible. There was also an old smog kit tap into the intake manifold I resealed.

Thanks, MIke Moore 300H

Not sure what you mean by 'marginal'. Does the car run rough and act like it's gonna stall ? If so, I would attach a vacuum gauge to the intake and see what's going on. Problem is either a vacuum leak, or something is out of whack in your carbs. It's not Ethanol gas.

What idle speed are the 300H folks setting? Although my manual says 650, it sure is marginal at that speed. 800 feels better, but I don’t understand what causes the difference. Ethanol?  

 

Thanks,

Does anyone have tips on replacing a windshield on a 61 Chrysler. Lots of chrome to remove.

Thanks
