Recent rebuild

I just did mine a couple months ago and the old A4 is ticking along better than ever. 51 years old and going strong.

Ron,
I've never had trouble with my 50 y/o steel tank but I measured it and it's 25 gallons and we are lake sailors so don't need but about 5 gallons a year. That coupled with the rust and gunk...

Planning to pump the ethanol out of my steel tank, remove it, replace with a smaller poly and use leaded only on my 70 A4.

Ronstory actually it wasn’t seeping, it was running out of the water pump housing, down onto the motor mount and into the bilge. I would estimate a couple of tablespoons maybe. I had run the motor...

Oil from Oberdorfer

Question of the day: While working on the fuel pump on the hard I pulled the impeller and shaft. Now that I’m done I went to put the shaft back in and have oil running out.
Bad news or normal with...

All done I hope

Well I just talked to Tom at Indigo and had a great conversation. He assured me that he's never had one fail except by lightning and that if I'm getting fire at the distributor the module is working...

Peter-good questions. We had good spark at the end of the coil wire where it goes into the distributor and then pulled the cap and rotor.
Your idea probably is a good one since the only thing we...

Indigo Electronic Ignition

I put the kit in several years ago and it’s worked flawlessly. However today while on the hard and working on the fuel pump (another thread) I went to start it and no spark. We had pulled the coil...

Final post...I hope

So after the rebuild it runs when pumped up manually but then goes dry. My mechanic buddy thinks maybe the gasket is holding it out far enough the shaft isn’t pushing the diaphragm. So he and I go...

Fixed

Used the Moyer rebuild kit. Here’s some pics of the old and new. Not bad for a 50 y/o pump. Might have been rebuilt before but was awhile back if so. Put it on the old A4 and used the primer bail. ...

Broken spring on the pivot arm. A wonder it ran at all after it broke. Made it from the slip to the ramp and then started again to winterize. But that’s all she wrote.

sastanley,
great input about the carb bowl. I'll give that a try. Any hint is helpful and that's a good one to narrow down the cause. I'm sure it's going to be fuel by the way it acts but...

Thanks for the replies.
It does fire with ether and I’ve changed it out to electronic ignition and no fire issues since then.
I’m thinking it’s either lost prime or not pumping since the pump...

And Then There Was None
