1. the manual is worth every cent I paid for it.......
2. But the engine is still not running right
3. Recent history:
a. ....switched old for newly rebuilt A4......ran great
b. .. Until we hit rough water.......it stopped working. Found dirt, gunk
and water in gas.......
c. emptied gas tank......got rid of water in gas......Old "Fram" filter very very dirty.installed .new fram filter.element......new squeeze bulb between gas tank and filter....
d. Ordered Racor separator / filter.....will arrive next week (end of July)
e. Engine still wouldn't start.........
f. Removed Carb. took it to small engine mechanic....carb full of water,
dirt , gunk......mechanic cleaned it thoroughly....found bits of krud in carb
jets.......
g. installed clean carb.....pumped fuel line full with new bulb....
f. ENGINE STARTED .....but.....but...but..... runs at low rpm......when you
advance throttle......engine dies........and when you use the choke....it
also dies.........
g. Checked compression, spark....all ok ( excellent instruction how to in
my new A4 manual). There is gas in the carb. timed engine with the
12 volt light bulb. ......but.....the engine STILL doesn't run right....cuts out at any rpm above idle.
h.This is getting bad........I've spent lots of $$$$ for the new rebuilt......and tried all of the above remedies.......but the engine still
doesn't perform like it did until we hit that rough water last month......
Please advise..........I believe in the atomic 4 and your dedication to it and to us who use it.....
thanks
