Subject: F Carpet Material
The club has 7 F carpet sets remaining.
If you have been considering a purchase, this would be a good time == once
these are gone, it could be a while (maybe never?) before the club places
another order.
These carpets are advertised in the Club Store and can be ordered from the
club office in Jonesville. Each carpet set is 72" x 179" from which you or
your upholstery shop can cut pieces. If you need more information, contact
the club office.

Hi,
I don't believe that you mentioned how old or how many
miles are on your fuel pump. My theories on no gas in
the carb trace to the fuel pump. The internal check
valve is not preventing the fuel line from draining
back into the tank, or the diaphragm is weak and can't
pump the fuel back up quick enough, or your cam or
push rod has worn so that the fuel pump doesn't get
full strokes. A new replacement pump would solve some
of these problems, and an electric pump would probably
solve it completely.
Have you tried backing the car up the driveway so that
the engine is facing down? This way the gas can't
drain back into the tank, if that is really the
problem. If your cold starting problem disappears, you
can either keep backing it in or replace the fuel
pump.
On a different "position" related issue, I have found
that if I back my car into the garage, change the oil
and oil filter, and then let the car roll onto the
driveway so the engine faces down, I get practically
instant oil pressure at start-up, much faster than if
the car is level or on an upgrade.

Subject: Carter Glass Bowl Fuel Filter Ceramic Elements
BlankMany of you have asked about the ceramic elements John Lazenby and I
sell for the short style of glass bowl Carter fuel filters. Our ad for
these appears in the Club News and NewsFlite at a fixed price. Because we
have an abundance of these to keep our and your FL cars running, we have
decided to try selling extra inventory on eBay.
These elements in their filter assemblies are original equipment in pairs
on your C300, 300B and 300C.
I'm posting this message not to advertise the auction but to give you the
opportunity to view the two pictures there of the ceramic element with
gasket and the filter assembly. The URL of that auction is
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=18085753
00
Remember, if you need one or more of these for your car, your best deal is
to buy direct from our club ads, rather than bid for one on eBay.

I remember somewhere, (and the brain can not dredge up the source
at this time) that some cars were shipped to the dealer with
the mirrors and antennas in the trunk and were then dealer installed.
Now the holes might have already been there, That I do not know.
I do strongly remember when my mother (who was working in the
regional district offices of Buick at that time, 1957) had to
make a special trip to the dealer when they were about ready to
deliver her a brand new black on black Roadmaster convertible
so that she could chose the outside mirror and the antenna locations.
The memory is strong because I remember the grousing and grumbling
she did on the return trip home because she thought that trip was to
take her first NEW car home and was all geared up to bask in the
glory of that beautiful car and was then told she would have to wait
another day while they installed the items and finished up with all
the dealer prep.

Subject: 300F Movie
Hi.
In December I opened a discussion about the 18 minute
movie about the 300F introduced at the New Yotk Auto
show in 1960. Following a tip from a club member I
ordered a two hour video from www.carsandstripes.com
The video arrived yesterday and it is fantastic. the
300F part is near the end and covers great footage of
a red 300F at the Chelsea proving grounds, a drive to
Florida in a white 300F and discussion from Bob Roger.
Its all in color too! A great purchase for $21.95.
Paul

Subject: F Carpet Material
Transforming the chunk of Club carpeting material into something useable
is
not an easy task. If one is considering doing a good job, and wants a
correct carpet with all edging and serging done as per factory, I would
recommend having the carpeting shipped directly to Gary Goers! Gary will
transform the chunk into something "ready to install" , including those
complicated console pieces, which he will return to you with the grey
material sewn in ( the stuff that fits under the console stainless trips)
and the proper serging done. Proper grommets and snaps at front of console
as well. He will also make your door panels and seat back inserts with the
same carpeting. All this for a very reasonable fee. It makes installation
a
snap.
I would assume that anyone purchasing the correct carpeting for their 300F
would also like it to look right when installed in the car !

Subject: Re: Hard Starting Wedge!
Jennifer,
Does the car start then die right after starting or does it just not start
until the fuel pump refills the carb(s)? Makes a difference on the root
identification of the problem.
If the engines fires then dies, the carb has fuel retained in it between
uses, the pump is slow to refil the carb on restart. That could be a bad
pump or a pinhole in the fuel line or rubber connectors or a blockage. The
pump should be able to raise fuel several feet, a little driveway tilt
should make no difference.
If the carb(s) are empty on restart, that indicates a different family of
causes because there is a problem inside the carb. The floats don't change
all by themselves, float arms must be manually bent to change the fuel
level
in the carb. A loose needle/seat assembly will lower the fuel level and
cause a no fuel no start. This will also make the carb abnormally
position
sensitive to its being tilted. Larry Johnson

Anyone have a GHM-6011 generator working or not. The greater on my C is
