"I just inherited a 3.5 hp out

"I just inherited a 3.5 hp outboard motor. Bad news is it's previous owner painted the cover and I can't read what button and knob does what. This thing runs, but I'm not sure if it's air cooled, and or if it's an oil/gas mix or what. I can figure out most of this by trial & error but I'd like to know if I can come up with an owner's manual for this motor. It's model number is K350 4000A--sn is 70476. Would like to know the year of this thing and whom it was made for Sears/Wards??? Can anyone help?"
 
"Bob, you should have started

"Bob, you should have started a new discussion - you almost got lost here.

Anyhow, you have a Clinton 3.5 horse Air-Cooled model built somewhere between 1976-80.

You can mix 2 cycle engine oil (for lawnmowers/chainsaws - NOT Marine oil) at a ratio of 24:1 with regular unleaded gas and it will run fine for you.

Clinton went bankrupt a couple of times over the years and finally completely called it quits in 1980 - so the records are a little scarce and I can't narrow down your model any closer than above.

Because it has a Clinton model number (as opposed to a Sears or Wards) it may simply have been marketed as a Clinton engine.

You can most likely find a manual at www.discount-marine-parts.com just email them with your model number and I'm sure they can hook you up..."
 
"hi my grandfather past recent

"hi my grandfather past recently got a 7.0 hp motor model# k-700 1107 A Serial# 593208,from his house and I can pull the cord so not locked up I hope anyway, what kind of gas mixture do I use in it, }and how can I get a manuel so I can try to fix it up and get it running"
 
"I have a Clinton Engines Corp

"I have a Clinton Engines Corp. outboard motor, Model No. K300 3106A, Serial No. 940554, Type No. XTV 52203. Can anyone tell me when it was made, what the fuel mixture should be, what type of spark plug to use, and ony other owner information. Please respond to [email protected]. Thank you."
 
"Robert, I believe your type i

"Robert, I believe your type is actually KTV (probably obscured a bit).

Your motor is a 1975, single cylinder, 3 horse, built by Clinton for Montgomery Wards (store brand).

The fuel mixes at 24:1 - regular unleaded gas and 2 cycle engine oil such as used for lawnmowers and chainsaws - NOT marine oil.

You can use an NGK BM4A spark plug gapped at .030" (or a Champion cross ref to that NGK)."
 
"Graham, thanks for the inform

"Graham, thanks for the information. Would this motor be air cooled or water cooled. It has cooling fins to make me think it is air cooled but it also looks like it has a water intake hole also."
 
"Robert, yes it's air cool

"Robert, yes it's air cooled. The exhaust housing/lower unit were common to a number of outboard mfg's - so water cooled so it was built to accomodate both..."
 
"I have just got a clinton out

"I have just got a clinton outboard but know nothing about it; Manufacture date, Hp rateing, fuel mix, where to get parts or if I can, any info would help
Model no. K7515106 B
Serial no. 1382891
Type No. XTV 50575 B"
 
"Your type is actually KTV 505

"Your type is actually KTV 50575 B - they must have printed the "K" poorly, because many list it that way.

Your Clinton was built by them for Mongomery Wards and sold under the store brand "Sea King".

It is a 1978 (clinton model K751), single cylinder, 7.5 horse.

The few clinton's that I have seen are air-cooled engines and I have no information that they ever produced a water-cooled model (but can't say for sure).

If your motor is air cooled you can mix it with regular unleaded gas and 2 cycle oil (such as used for lawnmowers/chainsaws) - not marine oil at a ratio of 24:1.

Both Clinton and Montgomery Wards are out of business so certain parts may be hard to find. There is a number of sources on the internet that can provide you with tune-up/ignition parts or alternately, a local small engine shop may be able to help you out since the carbs, point etc were of a fairly generic variety..."
 
"I purchased a Clinton Sea Kin

"I purchased a Clinton Sea King outboard. 4 HP Model # K4002106A--Serial No. 681380--Type No. 60-27404R
It runs, but not well. In the carb. bowel was the seat for the carb. needle. I have 24:1 chainsaw oil in the gas. I have ordered from Dave Henshaw a manuel but have not received it as yet. Do you know what year it was built and can I seat the needle sleeve with the needle valve?"
 
"To edit my email from 1-11-08

"To edit my email from 1-11-08 09:44 pm, after looking at the carb again the brass seat was not from the needle valve. Could not even get to the bowl. Don't know where it came from! I am a woodworker and not a mechanic. Any help would be much appreciated. I also have more numbers from the carb but don't know if they mean anything. Thank you for any help you can give me."
