Re: Chrysler 105 Hp Staring

As with any chrysler engine, to cold start, you must with the control handle in neutra pull out the chrome button or lever near the rear of the control handle pivot. This disables the shift. Now, pust the control handle as far forward as it will go. This is cold start/fast idle/warm-up position. Now, the engine should satrt reliably. If not, it is time to clean the carbs as not enough fuel is being delivered in choke.
