This video reviews some basic carburetor functions.� It is of a basic
Chinese knock off carb but maybe it hits on something you didn't know.�
Worth a try anyway.

Danny,
I am assuming that you didn't forget to try adjusting the idle mixture
screw. (I forgot one year - duh!) �Did it have any effect? �It
may also be
worth loosening the distributor and turning it back and forth 10 degrees or
so, though timing as very non-critical on the A4. �Another thing to try
is
to slowly pull the choke out in small increments. �If it idles better
then
something in the idle fuel path is likely plugged a bit and it is running
lean at idle.
Another possibility is the float valve isn't closing perfectly and at idle
too much fuel is entering the carb. �Sometimes the float valve can be
freed
up by shutting off the fuel supply and letting the engine run until the carb
is empty. �Open the fuel supply valve and start the engine - will take a
moment or two. �The rush of fuel into the carb can sometimes clean the
float
valve if it is a bit gummy.
I also assume the plugs are good and properly gapped.
All I can suggest that doesn't require removing the carb again and blowing
out the various jets with compressed air.
Mike

Subject: Stus-List Atomic 4 Carb rebuild
Hello all,
I'm looking into rebuilding my carb. �I'm having some idling issues and
It's
getting better and better but I think It should be better still. �When I
looked inside the carb. �It was dirty and gritty...no good,
I sprayed it all with carb cleaner. �Although it is better I want to
try a
rebuild and more aggressive cleaning.
I've found the moyer rebuild kit at $87.00 + shipping then I found this one
for $26.00 and I could buy 3 for the less and get free shipping...
http://www.carburetion.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?Part=KT-5535
It seems it is even a better kit in that it has more parts, specifically, it
seems to have the throttle arm seal and cap in it.
Is moyer really just price gouging?
he even charges another $12.50 for his tech tip videos on trouble shooting
you carb. �I mean I'm all for a guy making a buck but, you'd think if
he is
charging more than triple on parts, he could throw in the videos...
�I'll
probably pay the $12.50 to see it, especially if I save all that dough on
the kit! �Then, I don't have to feel guilty about not giving the guy my
business... �I mean I'd hate to see him go out of business...
Anyway, maybe this is a substandard kit?
Also, I have a rebuilt carb that I did last year before I knew I was buying
the Moyer exchange engine. �So, I'll swap that in, I would just like to
have
a rebuilt one on standby...
I also found a farm tractor supply selling the whole carb for $175.46 Moyer
wants $270

Any comments or suggestions are always appreciated! �I thought this
could be
good infor for the other A4 boats... if there are any left LOL
