Re: {Chrysler 300} Carter 4-barrell issue

I have a new sealed Napa early (2-5582) AFB carb kit for sale. Napa gets $98 last I looked. $70 + $5 to ship in lower 48.

If the float is stuck, it is due to a misalignment. Fix that, test it both right-side up and upside-down to verify clearance, and you will solve your problem.

Larry:

Danny is 100% correct (as usual-!!!). I had to start my 57 TBird last week in order to free my L (which ironically was headed out for a new fuel tank) and yes - fuel running out (Vs sputtering) from vent. (Ugh/Yikes).

So a couple of well aimed semi aggressive taps against the chamber and presto.

However, now I don’t trust it. So I carefully pushed it into the hole where the L was and pulled the carb and took it to my bench - while unfairly mumbling things about Ford Motor Company under my breath!

I take a look it the innards and rebuilt it. Even though I religiously use non-ethanol I’m expecting the worst.

This is typical for me even tho I take every precaution (non ethanol/frequent use/stabilizer/fresh fuel etc.,etc..).

Has anyone ever experience a carb sputtering fuel from the vent tubes? I've attached a brief video for reference. I assume there may be a stuck float/seat and it is flooding the chambers with fuel. Looking for any ideas on how to resolve and/or troubleshoot. Otherwise I may need to remove it and have a carb specialist inspect.

Thanks,

Brian
