The wind was coming from on shore the East. The motor fired right up it was a good day to sail but we had a graduation party to get to in the afternoon. So we motored from Grand Haven to Saugatuck. The boat ran all the way down the coast but it was apparent some thing was not right.
We found that the #4 cylinder had 2 lbs compression. After a bit of tinkering and a significant amount of oil I was able to free up the stuck exhaust valve. Now I have 100 lbs of compression and the Atomic 4 is running strong. Guess you can expect to run into a few kinks on a new boat especially if it has sat for a year. Any ways I'm glad we have not picked a name for the boat just yet. Accord is supposed to come of the back some day. If you have a suggestion for a name leave it in the comments section. Were still looking for a good name.
