Hello,
I have a rebuilt Atomic 4 in my sailboat and when I put it in this year it would turn over fine but wouldn't fire up. After putting ether in the carburetor it still wouldn't fire up so the mechanic's diagnosis was that there was no compression and I'd need a new engine.
Because of the value and year of the boat I'm reluctant to put another engine in it and wanted to see if anyone in the Chicago area knows any good mechanics that are familiar with the Atomic 4. The only mechanics I've dealt with are generalists and seem to know very little about the A-4 so thought an expert might have better news for me on what to do with the engine.
Thanks and hopefully someone out there can point me in the right direction.
