Fuel System

From the 1928 Chrysler Imperial 80 Instruction Book

The fuel system section; its opening page (printed page 32, supply tank) is missing from this scan, so it begins with the fuel gauge wiring. It covers vacuum tank float repair, the glass-bowl fuel filter, carburetor idle and high-speed adjustment with the RICH/LEAN dial and choke-operated auxiliary needle, the economizer, the electric fumer starting aid, the centrifugal air cleaner, crankcase ventilation and the manifold heat control.
