My 35 MK1 had an A4. I ended up pulling the head
and refacing the carb before it got smooth. I
also had to flush out the cooling jacked in the engine.
AS far as rough running, yes to Marvel. IN
addition to the carb, you may also want to pull
the spark plug and pour a little into each
cylinder. And while you have the spark plug out
you can try to see the valves and release a stuck
valve (if that's your issue) by putting a
screwdriver into the cylinder through the spark
plug whole and seeing if you can push the stuck
valve down. Just manually rotate the crank a few
times to make sure you can check them all. It is
a standard flathead configuration, if that
helps. That actually worked for me on one valve.
The oth4 trouble po9nt as the carb. My 35 had
been sitting for a few year and the float in the
carb was filled with a growth that resembled the
inside of a malted milk ball.
Finally, you can get a tome of support and parts
for your A4 at https://moyermarine.com/. I could
not have done my engine tear down without their support.

Strong believer in this stuff. Half a bottle
per tankful. If you have not emptied the tank
this fall, add STABIL or a preservative.

When you do this trick, how much Marvel Mystery
Oil do you pour into the carbs air intake? A teaspoon? An ounce?
Thanks,
Randy

Old shade tree mechanic trick. Marvel Mystery
Oil is great stuff. However, when I did it I
used automatic transmission fluid. The AT4 I
was resuscitating hadn't been run in over 10 years. Brought it back to life.
I also did it late one Sunday evening after all
my dock neighbors had left. I WILL make a cloud. :)

Sounds like a sticking valve. Very common with
an A4 and very easy to fix. With the engine
running at moderate rpms, pour a little Marvel
Mystery Oil into the carb air intake. Do this a
couple of times and marvel at the smoke cloud!
This will usually free up a stuck valve and
return the engine to full power and smooth running!
