Ok I will check the shift cable. I did have to move that around a bit when I got the new carb.

Sorry I didn’t mean to adjust the choke, I meant where are you running the hot wire to? The...

Yup I hear you. That’s how it goes sometimes. Hit me up if you need pictures of anything I have a bunch now from going through a lot of stuff with mine.

Just dewinterized the boat today. It’s a 1985 Sunsport with 351. Fired right up and running like it did at the end of last season, happy that it runs, but still not right. I have a couple questions...

I believe I spent about 5-600 rebuilding mine. Pretty simple if you basic knowledge and tools. Definitely rewarding. I took a bunch of pictures so let me know if you need any.

Right on thanks for the help ����

So i was pulling the plugs on my boat today (85' Sunsport) and when i pulled the one for the exhaust the water was black and a bunch of sand and rocks in there, ill post a picture. This is my second...

Just a little update, still haven't had a successful time out this year :mad:

Rebuilt my velvet drive
Replaced my damper plate
New oil cooler
Bought a Holley 4160 and got it all hooked up...

Just got my transmission back in and it doesn't go down close enough to the shaft. About an inch off. Is it ok to pull the shaft up to the right position? On the transmission mounts there is like a...

Finally dug into things, main shaft inside transmission was snapped right at the weak point where a hole goes through, has anyone seen this before? Everything else inside...

Nice! Let me know how the stringers go and post some progress pics if you have any, I'm in Tracy, and have been working on my 85' Sunsport but don't know if I should trust myself or not with the...

Jeez just something else that can go wrong, could that electric fuel pump wiring be the problem to a no start when warm issue? I don't like that and think I should go back to mechanical, thought?

No I'm in CA, what is the tool? I've got the transmission just about put back together, and want to get started on the rear main once I finish. Wasn't planning on pulling the engine because I don't...

Can anyone tell me what the last picture is? It has electrical going to it but can't figure out what it is.

Do I need to pull the engine to do the rear main seal even if I already got my transmission out? Or is there a way to acces it without pulling the engine?

I have a few questions that I've found a few answers on and some I haven't found any.

Transmission
It started slipping last time I was out and when I checked the fluid it had a pinkish color....

Is it possible to sand the gelcoat with a high grit or wet sand it to remove scuffs or paint transfer? On my trailer there is no guides to keep the boat centered and to stop it from going up on the...

Yeah I was low on transmission fluid and I figure I should just do it all while I got it out. And it doesn't stay still in neutral so my understanding was the reverse plates were out but please...

Here's a couple pictures. I started pulling the transmission today and determined it will be a lot easier to pull the bolts from the mounts. Should I worry that if my stringers...

Ok, sounds simple enough! And welcome! Yes a lot of great info! I've learned more stuff then I wanted to know about my boat on here! Hopefully all for the better once I can clear out the garage and...

Haven't had some free time in a while. I'll get the pics of the engine bay when I get out there again. New question though. So I'm going to be rebuilding my transmission and have a few transmission...

If I can find the space I'd love to check out/ repair the stringers myself. Was the original floor glassed in? Might sound like a stupid question but the info I originally got on...

Thanks for the replies. Tranny started slipping last weekend so probably just gonna be done for the winter and get to work on everything.

I pulled off all the connections from the battery, to the solenoid, and to the starter and cleaned them up(sanded them and put di-electric on them). Then got my starter tested and it's fine. Took it...
