You might consider a rebuild kit from Moyer (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.moyermarine.com">www.moyermarine.com</a>). I believe
he has a kit to replace the non-adjustable jet with an adjustable jet which
makes it possible to fine tune the carb.<br>
<br>
I carb rebuild every three to five years is a good idea. I think the Moyer
rebuild kit is less than $60 or $80 dollars. A new, late model carburetor
is about $150. Not a bad idea if you are unsure about the condition of yours.<br>

<pre wrap="">thanks. The idle was turned down, but the carb has not been adjusted beyond that and certainly not rebuilt.<br><br></pre>

<pre wrap="">I have been chaning the spark plugs on the A4 when the engine seems to want to "miss"m a bit or when the engine seems to loose power slightly. This always solves the problem.
