RE: {Chrysler 300} Gasoline

The F uses Carter AFBs, aluminum carbs with comparatively small bowls and big vents that tend to evaporate the contents thereof in short order. However, my F will keep fuel in her carbs for about a week. Yours should too.

Starting fluid is to be avoided. A squeeze bottle from the beauty supply store filled with fuel (pre-mixed 2 cycle fuel in the can is best) and injected in the vent tubes (2 oz per side) will have your F roar to life as if it had been running yesterday.

Good Afternoon Everyone:

I have just a confirming question about the correct gasoline to use my F.

I have been using a Coastal 90 octane non-ethanol with an octane booster. Is that better than a 93 octane with ethanol?

Still having the same starting issue when it sits for more than 3 days need ether to start, then runs fine. I am now suspecting I need to rebuild the carbs. Do you have a recommendation on where to buy carb kits for the Carters, or where should I send them to be rebuilt.

Thanks guys.

Al
