Hey all,
Had a start up problem with a late model A-4 this spring which I solved.
Could not get the engine to run. Traced it down to a clogged gas tank and a gunked carb.
Bought a new tank and filter. Removed the carb and completely cleaned w/ carb cleaner an blown out w/compressed air.
Bought a MM carb kit and replaced all w/ new.
Installed carb and ran engine. Started up perfectly and ran great. RPM's perfect.
Manifold overheating...290 degrees +. I took the manifold problem to this site and most agreed I had a gunked up water passage.
Removed manifold, cleaned it out following MM instructions. Popped the freeze plugs and cleaned more. Power flushed. Pressure tested. OK
Installed manifold.
Ran engine. Manifold fine, no overheating. Exhaust fine.
My new problem is that when I increase throttle It does nothing, just stays at idle.
I did not do anything to the carb except remove and put back on w/new gasket.
Any help please.
Regards
Bill
