Hello everyone! I have been reading and getting a ton of information from this forum. I love my A-4 and this forum and MMI are priceless, and I thank u all for that.
I would like to introduce myself, and my motor.
We currently sail on lake pepin, in our 1960 Tripp 30 with A-4 inboard.
the p.o. in my opinion did a very nice job installing this A-4 around 2000- 05?
It is a mix of late and old model A-4, is in very nice condition IMO. i was fortunate to benefit from some of the work p.o. put into including but not limited to indigo E.I. indigo 3- blade, massive perko raw water filter, electric fuel pump, and many other things like oil change kit quick change water pump plate, etc, etc.
Since purchasing the boat and now into my second season I have done what I can to continue to upgrade and maintain the motor, and a growing list of spares that are carried aboard. Some but not all improvements have been, full exhaust replacement, cooling system bypass kit and thermostat housing conversion, carb rebuild, fuel pressure gauge, and have replaced alot of items on motor, to have the still working parts replaced as spares, like coil, d-cap, rotor, fuel pump etc.
I would like to think I am a good customer of MMI (spending a good amount on parts ) and have learned so much from speaking with Ken, and reading on the forum.
Well i realize this is getting long so I will spare u all the stories about issues I hve had and overcome and work i have done (yes I tinker maybe even too much?) but it has lead me to learn so much about the motor and prepared me for future issues.
Now I will try to attach some photos, the photos are about a year old and it is even better now but i will have to get a more current photo.
please ask if you wanna know anything else about the motor, as u can probably tell I would be more than happy to share/talk motors
I am just dying to ask about a million questions but i will try to hold off for now.
Again, Thank you MMI, Ken, and the community forum!
