mylesmacnamara, first welcome to the MMI Afourian forum.
First this site is mostly about supporting those who want to both learn and become confident in their and the A-4's abilities.
There are few actual A-4 mechanics left other than the current owners. There is maybe someone on this site who knows of one in your area. The trouble today is that the mechanics are not trained on these old gas engines and they just try to sell you a diesel conversion which usually costs as much as our old boats
.
Good luck. If you do decide to do it, sometimes a bit of "liquid bread & chips offered up may get someone knowledgeable in your area or from this site. It is often easier and faster
to "learn" to get it started from dead than to find a qualified mechanic not wishing to sell you a diesel.
