I'm another proud owner of a 1970 Chrysler Sport Satellite with a 1969 Chrysler 45 hp Model 4575 Serial 1913. Motor is doing good I have great compression 120 + both cyl. I confirmed a good impeller, changed LU oil, etc. Here is my question I ran in a barrel after cleaning carb for quite some time. Was idling great the whole nine yards. Got to lake and she gave me issues. So I swapped plugs cause my at home mix of fuel was way rich. I changed the tank to fuel pump lines out between barrel and lake and reversed my bulb. So I caught that at lake and got her straightened around. At the lake I was having to choke it 3/4 to even get her to run. She wasn't real stable either although I was hand choking due to my choke solenoid is dead and disconnected. Either way I came home and dug into the fuel pump. So I need to confirm that 18-7806 will work on my fuel pump. I have the old style "detached" with glass bowl. I also noticed that kit doesn't have that gasket for the glass bowl. Cut my own or any ideas? Check valves are good and I confirmed prior to my reversing bulb that I was getting fuel to carb, obviously it ran great. The diaphragm isn't leaking just seems stretched. Also is this carb number correct as well 18-7037? The carb seemed fine and has a black non metal float and was operating properly when I blew through it with a breath of air pressure against it. I did notice the air screw looks as though it should have a little oring on it. Mine doesn't.
As I sit here writing this I think about how I screwed down the tank vent after the gas station on the way to lake and I wonder if this may have been my whole issue. But it seems like I would have at least collapsed the bulb as vacuum was created. Not to mention I would have at least been able to idle out a minute or two. Last I have noticed that I can get gas to come back through carb mouth if I place my hand over the mouth but this seems normal due to the amount of suction pulling it straight through the bowl.
Spark is good also .
Also does anyone know if Napa still possibly carries the carb and fuel kits?
