Gem555, we all have great little motors that run and get us out and back when we need to do so. The A-4 is still a good marine engine. The reason it is hard to find a mechanic is because mechanics are no longer taught diagnosis as diagnosis is now plug in and read ~ the A-4 is "set and go".
This forum is not to find mechanics but to get the members able to keep the A-4 tuned and running reliably. Mine was a frozen motor when I bought it. The PO stated that it was done and a replacement was "NECESSARY". One week later the A-4 was spinning on her own and ran for me for another 35 years trouble free until I bought a bigger boat.
