[Chrysler300] Starts then Stalls - SOLVED FINALLY - '65 300

["Ryan Hill" <ryan_hillc300@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am very happy to announce that I've just returned from my garage where the 
troublesome new engine was running correctly for the first time in a long 
time. I mentioned earlier that the throttle pump didn't seem to be working 
properly and in fact that was 1 of two major carb problems that I identified 
tonight.

The main problem was in fact my error installing the metering jets 
incorrectly. I had the primarys mixed up with the secondarys, which didn't 
allow enough fuel to feed the engine once the vacuum increased and pulled 
down the metering rods. I did find the fuel intake check valve that feeds 
the throttle pump was leaking and is causing pressure to blead off back into 
the bowl thus reducing the squirt. I'll replace the valve as soon as I can 
find one but for now it's operating ok even with the leak.

Thanks to Owen Grigg, Larry D'aloise, and John Bramwell for triggering ideas 
and offering important details that led me to correct these problems. I want 
to thank everyone for taking the time think about my problem and offer alot 
of great and helpful advice which allowed me to rule out all other 
possibilities. You guys are a great group and I'm proud to be involved with 
this club.

Sincerely. Ryan Hill (Vancouver B.C.)
