Hello, I just finished my first rebuild on 1979 A-4. It came out of my Catalina 30. Some background, I bought as project and motor was completely disassembled "basket case" I spent this winter reassembling the A-4. What I have replaced;
Bolt on
Fuel Pump- electric
Alternator
Distributor- electronic
coil
starter
rebuilt water pump
Internal motor work
rings
valve springs
honed walls
lapped valves- reused
reused bearings and pistons as they were within spec.
really really really good cleaning and all new gaskets.
Oh, and rebuilt carburetor.
So I am ready to bench test and expect it to start right up...........No, it turns over and appears to have fuel and fire and at the correct time...
Checked compression 60psi on all four cylinders? Is this why it wont start? I have changed so many things that its a bit difficult to know where to start.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Shawn B
