I've had terriffc success with this little fix on one of
my lesser Chrysler products:
Smack the top of the carburetor a few times with the plastic
handle of a large screwdriver, right above where the fuel line enters the carb.
This is on one of my Chargers that sits for several months without being
started, once "wacked" it's fine until after it's set for another extended
period of time...

I was afraid someone would say that. I don't have any carb
experience. Can this be fixed without tearing the carb down?

Stalling
Hi folks, I have been letting my car sit for the past 6
months & now it doesn't want to stay running when I let my foot off of
the gas. The first time, the carb was spilling gas all over the engine
& then it wouldn't restart. Now it seems as if it is starving for gas.
I tried changing the fuel filter & thought that was it until it went
from high idle & immediately stalled. It then refused to restart again
& didn't flood, although I tried to start for several minutes, I
sprayed a little carb cleaner into the carb & it again started but
again stalled when I let off the gas. I'm thinking it may be the fuel
pump, which was "borrowed" from another Imperial in 1990. Any
advice?
Thanks,
John
