I actually hit the jackpot as I was cleaning out the cabin. I found the original maintenance manual and a detailed log of everything that has been done on the Atomic 4. Thank you ndutton, I will definitely be doing a pressure test this week. I have a few things that will decide whether or not I pull the chute and abandon ship. I am not keen to pull motor out and work on it from the bench. With an offer made by a local marine mechanic, certain engine failures will likely send me in that direction. Luckily the engine is not seized as my first test was to see if it would crank at all. I did a pressure test on the cylinders, however, 1 & 2 built no pressure. I will be pulling the valve cover off this week and praying I see stuck valves. First purchase will be Moyer's full gasket kit (GASK_01_140) along with a jug of MMO. I will post in the Electrical section of this forum about my initial test of the pistons and how it lead to me pulling apart and cleaning my starter.
