Old shade tree mechanic's trick for AT4's. Used to do it annually when I had
AT4's. With the motor at fast idle or better, pour a small stream of automatic
transmission fluid in the carb. It will clean the valves and topworks of the
engine.
Caution: do it when the marina is deserted or someone will think your boat is
on fire and call the fire department. Makes a bit of smoke.

>>The A4 likes Marvel Mystery Oil, I don't know why because it is a
mystery...anyway if you can find some Marvel Mystery Oil add some to your
lube oil and the tick may go away...you could be very surprised...also
add some to your fuel tank...I think lots of folks have used it in their
A4's with satisfactory outcomes

Does anyone know if the atomic 4 is supposed to sound that way?
