Reply To: 1959 Sportwin Powerhead noise

Yea Frank, I read all your old posts and that’s what I was hoping for too, at least a definitive answer before I open her up.
Another thing I thought of since the noise is localized in the middle of the powerhead, was possibly where the driveshaft meets the crank is worn, but then why wouldn’t it make noise at idle. It’s a weird metallic chatter , not clunking.
Well since I most likely will have to open it up, I’ll probably end up going to do the 61-63 upgrade since I’m in there already.
Thanks,
Bob D
