SV: [Chrysler300] slow starting 55 new yorker

["Narve Nordanger" <narve.n@xxxxxxx>]

The issue has been discussed previously on this list, try to look 6 months
back.

How about new battery cables (corrosion tends to creep into them, creating
increased restistance and less cranking power), rebuilt carbs (did alot for
me). The starter normally anyhow cranks slowly, especially when hot.

In the old days I always carried a 12V spare battery and some heavy jumping
cables with me, if nothing else helped that would do the trick. Especially
handy when travelling by ferry where engines had to be switched off during
transit, and everybody else was waiting for you to start up on arrival.
Eventually, I got tired of pushing the C-300 off the ferry... Best story was
actually when pulled over by law for speeding (inherent with 300s?), and
they afterwards had to give me 12V starting help to clear the area for new
"customers".

Nowadays I am not that fond of pushing cars, so I try to plan ahead and
never stop the engine unless time to cool down.

  Hi Gang, Art here, In addition to my 300G I also have a newly restored
  '55 new yorker. It's a crapshoot whether it will start at ahy given time.
  The motor turns over very slowly like a weak battery, especially when hot.
  I still have the 6 volt system and have tried everything.rebuilt
starter,new
  selanoid and relay and a new battery. I know these cars started better
than
  this when new so why not now. Ary suggestions??. This is probably a common
  problem and I hope somebody has a solution.

  Thanks Art
