One cause of rough running that I haven't seen mentioned is a sticking
exhaust valve. This is very common on A4s and easy to address by fogging
the engine with Marvel Mystery Oil. With the engine running, pour a small
amount of MMO into the air intake. Repeat a few times and it will usually
free up
Just wanted to send a quick note to say thank you for all the wonderful
advice in this thread.
Looks like i've got a decent project to keep me going until the habors open
on May 1st!
Thanks again,

Hi Lee,
To my ear, the 2nd video is a normal sounding A4. They sound like a sewing

And I believe a steady diet of Marvel Mystery Oil is recommended.

Hi Lee, having had an Atomic 4 for 15 years, I can say the 2nd video sounds
largely normal once you got it starte. So, it seems yo tell me compression
is OK. The first one sounds a little rough, like a fuel issue. That
could happen if the engine was run all the way out of fuel ans you had

Lee,
I'd suggest you take a look at the carburetor, stuff tends to grow
there. I had a similar situation over a long winter layup and found,
believe it or not, spider webs in the carb. It's not too hard to take
out the main jet, spray down with carb cleaner and blow everything out.

We picked our prior boat, a 72 35 MK1, at an
auction. The person that brought it to the sale
location did not open the seacock and the engine
overheated so bad that the paint burned off. I
am not too sure what degree of harm it
precipitated. But eventually, I got it running
like a champ.
It sounds like what you are saying is it was run without cooling water till it
burnt up?
