Care and feeding an Atomic 4

[Richard]

I'm a new owner with an A4, a sailor with little experience working on engines. The inboard is running great, and I hope to keep it that way. Are there any books out there on the care and feeding of the Atomic Four that you'd recommend?

Atomic 4

Here is a great web site for all kind of information regarding the Atomic Bomb engine. I have used the site often including carb. rebuild and replacement of the mechanical fuel pump. I hope it helps.http://www.geocities.com/cptinrn/Sean

Atomic 4 Resources

There are 2 other sources of help; several engine manuals are also available:* Old Lyme Marine, Old Lyme, CT: 860-434-1272 = They're on the Net somewhere and purport to be the biggest A4 dealer in the country. You can buy the A4 manual as well as spares and parts with overnight shipping.* Moyer Marine, Harrisburg, PA: On the Net - I can't find the URL in my collection. He is the "A4 Guru" and also sells parts.The A4 is actually a pretty easy engine for us "mechanically challenged" types (I'm a lawyer not a mechanic though the Army tried to teach me things mechanical...) Last summer I actually "rebuilt" my carburetor using a kit Old Lyme Marine sold me.Just get greasy....
