Gents,
I've been having problems with starting the boat and I am confident that it is just a wiring issue at this point... I have a feeling i'm missing a wire to the starter relay, and I'm...
Hey Guys, I've completely rebuilt my engine and ready to take it out back to the water, but now I'm having issues with a majority of my gauges. I'm interested in replacing the wiring harness, but I...
Thanks guys, what I ended up doing is finding another pair of exhaust manifolds that bolt up to a Chevy 350. The only issue I'm battling now is going from a 3 5/8" exhaust manifold line to a 3"...
Yeah it really sounds like a loose ground. Let us know what you find out.
Beast, that sounds like the right way to test it. Everything makes sense, but how do you block the water flow at the exiting side of the manifold to test it. I looked at where the water exists, and...
Wotan - I don't remember how they looked when I got the gaskets off, but they did look pretty cheap. That's a very good point, it could have easily been them.
I guess would it be a good idea to...
Mike, Thank you for the quick reply.
Glad to hear that's normal, and I assumed that they had a common meeting point towards the end which resulted in water coming out of the exhaust ports when...
Hey guys - I just rebuilt my 1984 Supra Chevy 350 motor. I posted a thread a while ago about water somehow getting into my cylinders. Well I ended up taking the motor apart, and noticed that the...
Thanks for the input guys.
Beast, I'll try to figure out exactly what model the new GM 350 is. From what I understand, Supra made special editions and put 350s somewhere around the mid 80s....
Hey guys, I've previously posted a thread on water issues with the my engine with regards to me finding water inside my cylinders. Long story short, I have to replace the engine due to water sitting...
Yeah the fuel pump is working and it is sending fuel as soon as you prime it. I did not put stabil for the first 3 -4 months the boat sat in the driveway, but i did add it later on.
The cylinders...
Do you think it could be anything more serious than either a head gasket/head crack or exhaust manifold issue?
Not sure, I bought it 2 years ago with a busted odometer that read 390 hours, no telling how many hours it really has.
Hey Guys, here's an update on what I've come up with for the motor...
1) I drained about 1.5 quarts of oil/water mixture from the oil pan until I started to get clean oil pumping out.
(I'm not...
VERY nice Mikey, those tops are pricey and you made out well for yourself. I'm actually in the process of making my own floating bimi top from scratch. I bought this neat marine grade black canvas...
Thanks MikeyD, I'll def get some antifreeze in it for the meantime (rest of the winter here in South Texas). I'll pull the drain plugs from the plug, get that water out, and feed the antifreeze. ...
Great advice guys, so far no spark on the spark plugs, but I'm in the process of swapping them out with new ones (just incase the sitting water in the cylinder rusted out the tips of the plugs).
...
I'll look into Michigan Motorz. I haven't found water to be in the oil, yet. Any ideas or tips on what to do to diagnose it without taking it all apart?
Hey Guys, I'm in a pretty bad situation and I'm hoping its not as bad as I think it is.
I've been out of town the past 4 months, and I'm a little late on winterizing my boat. I charged the...
That's great to hear! Like my previous post, I'm still having issues starting when HOT. It sounds like we have very similiar issues, and I'll DEFINITELY purchase the same starter for mine. Keep us...
Gerdy - Does that sound like something you've experienced before with regards to an ignition coil getting too hot? It runs fine, just won't start back up.
Michael -
Its pretty hot where I run the boat, down in Southeast Texas, near Houston (around 100F air temp. and water temp is about 83F). When it happens, it doesn't really smell like gas, nothing...
Thanks Scott - That makes a lot of sense and could very well be the cause. Come to think of it, my blowers haven't been working properly, only two of the 4 vents actually blow out exhaust/heat from...
I have a 1985 Supra Rider with an after market Holley Carb. This just happend the last few times I've taken the boat out, but the engine will not start when it is warm. It cranks, but just doesn't...
