Nah - the A4 is a strictly marine engine with no relationship at all to other engines in land vehicles. The way the flywheel and tranny are set up it cannot possibly be used for anything but a boat. Its ancestor is the "Utility Four" widely used in WWII in various types of small craft. Joe Dell

Be VERY careful about using non-marine parts in a boat. Tractor parts such as carburetors, voltage regulators, and alternators lack the fire and spark suppression of marine parts. It matters. Bill Bina On 1/31/2014 11:15 AM, Dennis C. wrote: And there may be parts and support here: http://ww

The A4 has no common parts with a tractor with one exception. There is a “land” version of the carb that can be found for cheap and was used on a lot of industrial equipment. It is quite dangerous on a boat because instead of a scavenging tube to suck extra fuel back into the engine, it has

One more thing for A4 or potential A4 owners: The A4 has kind of turned into an "open source" project. You can now build an A4 that is vastly better than the original stock engine. Moyer Marine (http://www.moyermarine.com) and Indigo (www.atomic4.com) have any number of m

Mike: You are correctI should have said "I no longer race"when we sold our Kirby 25 in the Fall of 2005 and bought a C&C 32 in March of 2006, I converted from being a full time 'racer' to a lazy 'reacher'. After 25 years (seasons here) of constant racing, both crewing on others' boat
