Carbs are heated with exhaust and are unvented. I’m convinced that between boiling away the fuel in the bowls and/or the fuel syphoning from the carb and gravity draining back to the tank through the mechanical fuel pump that there is no fuel in the carbs until all the air is pumped through the pump, some fuel is sucked from the tank and enough gets in the still-hot bowls to feed the bulldog. Electric fuel pump back by the tank enables priming the carbs. One can hear the pump pitch change when the bowls are full and the float valve close. One pump and crank. There are various ways to wire the pump—for starting only, continuous & etc. Must watch for diaphragm failure—nearly as bad in a car as elsewhere. Raw gas goes into the crankcase. That said, starter problems get worse when they are hot, also. Some days, six Volts just does not cut it. Rich Barber Brentwood, CA From: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> On Behalf Of 'Ron Waters' ronbo97@xxxxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300] In this month's 300 Club News, Narve talks about his problems with hot starting his C300. Do any other C300 owners have similar problems ? I would think this is caused by a starter needing a rebuild, old wiring creating resistance, or a carb needing attention. Any thoughts ?
