Hi everyone,
They got my Sabre in the water almost a month early this year. The ole A4 started right up and it runs fine at idle initially, and fine at cruise, but when I idle back coming into the marina, it runs rough and stalls eventually if I don't intervene. It will restart and run at idle as long as it is in neutral. Sometimes before it stalls entirely it will make a very disconcerting clanging sound, which I hope is just misfiring, since it runs smooth otherwise. I've done nothing special to the engine this year other than upgrade the water pump and I disconnected and reconnected the throttle cable thinking I was going to replace it (I didn't). I still have the mechanical fuel pump, if that makes any difference. Oil pressure at idle is about 15-20 psi. Thanks
David
