Re: Advice needed for hard starting Dual AFBs and 745 lockdown

[carverex@xxxxxxx]

Hi Mark,

I have a '63 Sport Fury 383 4bbl. It sits for extended periods (2-3 weeks) and with a couple of accelerator pumps first, usually starts on the first turn of the key.

Maybe some things to check:

1) Are you getting a good squirt from the accelerator pump in the carb?

2) The fuel pump push rod could be worn, causing a week pulse of fuel to the carbs.

3) I believe there is a anti drain back valve in the fuel pump which may be allowing gas to siphon away from the carbs.

    maybe try a new fuel pump?

Let us know what you find out.

I took my 59 Plymouth to the Ct Mopar night cruise, over 150 Mopar‘s in attendance, total of 400 cars.
It’s about 150 mile round-trip drive
My car ran great except for two issues
1) I have the in-line dual Carter AFBs in a stock set up.
After sitting a month or more, it takes a while to start, I can crank until the oil light goes out in short bursts, I do not get fuel the carbs, if I hit it with a dash of starting fluid it pops right over. After that the car will start the next morning and every other time until it sets.
Is this normal or do I have some other problem that needs attention, I was told that the fuel drains back to the fuel tank it takes a while for fuel reach the curbs??
I do not like to use starting fluid

2). Is it normal not for a 745 three speed tranny not to downshift when you approach a good size hill automatically?
I can step on it to the floor and get passing gear
These both might be normal problems, but I was looking for a fix ,to make it a better driver
Sorry for the long email,
Mark
