Re: {Chrysler 300} Trouble in F land.

A bad condenser most often presents itself with lots of backfiring through the exhaust.

My hunch is this is no ignition problem but rather a hung up needle and seat in one of those carbs. You might have gotten some dirt in there, it doesn't take much at all. Given your symptoms and that you report having spark. Give both carbs a good stiff wrap with a plastic screwdriver handle and try again.

I would change the condenser in the distributor...as it was mentionned lately on a related thread, some are unreliable and work erratically...

Hi 300 ites,

Problem with my F.

Ran the F last Sunday, ran great.55 to 70mph

Fueled up( 7 gals)

Came home and engine died.

Wants to fire but not.

Today,drained out all gas,new gas in, pumped and finally fired up. Ran 10 minutes, the rpms dropped.and died.

Cranking/ trying to fire but not starting. Pumps gas and spark is good blue.

Going to put new plugs in tomorrow and back to duel points.

Any thoughts,

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
