It is very unlikely that you would need to remove the plugs.  I agree that
you should just overhaul the carbs yourself.  Carb kits are available and
aren't expensive.  You don't have to have special tools, but a vernier
calliper helps.  Otherwise, screwdrivers, pliers and a steel rule.  There
isn't much that can go wrong if you follow instruction manuals such as 
http://www.chrysler300country.com/tech_published/imagepages/image1.html

Make sure you have a table to leave your parts spread out over without
interference from others and take your time.  The only problem is the screws
holding the butterflies to the shafts.  If you don't have new ones, avoid
removing them, as they can break off. You don't have to unless the shaft is
completely flogged out.  Fine tuning can be done on the car at a workshop
with a gas analyser to set the best idle air/fuel ratio.

I have collected a number of related Carter manuals just through the
internet - some you have to pay for.  Have a look, otherwise email me if you
have a specific question.

NB  Due to comments about carbs boiling, I bought some phenolic carb spacers
from http://www.dashman.net/product.html?id=203
Very good quality and the original air cleaners still fit the supports with
a bit of fiddling.

Regards

Henry

Raphael,  Removal of plugs if they are leaking or you have a totally clogged
passage, only as a last resort.  Other wise leave them alone. If the
carburetors were working and the engine was running fine before, you can
overhaul them yourself. I don't trust most carburetor shops. I have
successfully rebuilt or overhauled my own carburetors over the years. Rick

Thank you for your answers concerning my 300c carbs. 
The link

3774 doen't work ,too bad because I 'm sure it would answer my questions
about identification. 
I'm wondering if it's a good idea to remove all the carbs plugs to have them
cleaned, I found new plugs available through parts suppliers but I'm afraid
of leaks when everything is back together. Does any member allready done
this ? 
I cannot give my carbs to a carburetor shop here in France because they
don't have any knowledge about Carter WCFB and I don't want to send them
away to some carburetor specialist in the USA unless I could trust them
200%.
