A rock recently hit my boats windshield on the interstate. Does anytime have a rough idea what it costs to replace? It’s flat glass of course without any curves.
Thanks man! Very valid question and one that can be upsetting. I would say with all honesty that if placed in the same situation but with the knowledge I have now, I would not do this again. It’s to...

When I bought my 86’ sunsport I had 3 holes from corrosion in my tank. I should have flushed the tank and tig welded them but instead I took a gamble and used JB weld. It’s been good for 2 years so...

After rebuilding the carb it’s idling and running seemingly well, however, the temperatures of the manifolds are still significantly different and I found ANOTHER ISSUE...
The good news: I found...
I just replaced the impeller and checked for any debris up to the thermostats, which was also replaced. Plenty of water is coming out of the exhaust

I’ve got an 86’ Sunsport with the 350 Windsor. Just rebuilt the tranny so I’m finally ready to get this rebuild on the water but now the I have 3 more issues:
1. The right side / starboard side is...
Would you sell the transmission off of the engine? It looks like the same Borg Warner 71c that is in my 86 sunsport. I’ll pull it upon arrival (just 6 bolts). I’m located in Quincy Illinois so only...
Sorry for the late reply. For the EVA foam pad on the back I sanded down a board, wrapped it in vinyl wrap, put a bead of silicon on the outer edge of the bottom and screwed it down.

After resolving a few issues on the engine I went to make sure the transmission ran as desired and found that reverse didn’t work. I pulled the tranny and found that the reverse clutch plates were...
I looked into it and there’s only 6. Once I found that out for sure I decided to go ape s*%# on it.
Thanks Cooose, just got it. It required a wedge, breaker bar, and a hammer. Not sure if it...
I’m struggling to get the tranny off. I’ve removed 2 bolts and 4 nuts that fasten the transmission to the flywheel cover. The engine is lifted up in the back. The tranny is even loose from the fly...
Okay, I’m still weighing my options on rebuilding the tranny or buying another. I’ll keep in touch

Definitely better than buying new or paying a shop. Will do! Hoping to get her out for the first time on Friday for further inspection, but now she’s running rich. I just can’t catch a break.
jtryon- would go that route if I weren’t so broke and eager to learn.
Cooose- thanks for the great thread! Is there a way to get “broken” images to show? Maybe I’ll contact Lively and see if he...
I’m curious how much you spent rebuilding your transmission? I’m having issues with reverse so I may have to do mine soon

Yeah, i believe it’s the transmission. I worked my way down and isolated and transmission and got nothin. I found an...
I used a Singer 319W that I picked up for $150. The the thing is a tank. I was made in the 50’s and will go through 5 layers of vinyl. You can’t use the really thick thread or do as large of spacing...
Perfect timing! I tried putting my control assembly back in without having the original pictures that I took of it, but didn’t the the patients to figure it out. Does this pic show the correct...
