Well, after over 20 years of sitting on the hard, the little A4 in our C&C Corvette came to life yesterday. WOOOOO HOOOOO !!
Thank you all for your advice and support. I've been lurking on here for the past couple of years as I've worked towards getting this boat squared away, and posting occasionally when I had some questions.
This is a wonderful forum and I cannot thank you enough.
The engine started and ran very well, and settled into a nice purr of an idle.
After launch (please God...soon..) I intend to run the engine under load for some time at the dock, double check timing and change the oil. I'll think I'll also put a dose of MMO in the first tank of gas.
Any other tips on running this thing after such a long lay up? From where the boat is to be launched I've got about a 5 hr. motor down a narrow river with a fair amount of current before I can step the rig. So I really NEED the engine to be 100%.
THANKS AGAIN !
