Clinton Outboard Question

"Thanks to the Outboard Motor

"Thanks to the Outboard Motor Club and this question thread I have determined that I have a 1954 Clinton Model 25 that my Grandpaw left me. Now the fun begins. I figure I will begin by trying to find a service manual and have inquired to Discount Marine Parts. Any chance anybody out there may have access to one laying around? BTW, not sure the significance, but the other numbers on the motor are 8 2 3 1 1 I and 0005272. I'll try to attach a picture here so you can get a look. (My Grandpaw painted it, and I haven't cleaned it up yet)

"I have a Clinton Apache outbo

"I have a Clinton Apache outboard I recently purchased that is missing the fuel line to the remote tank. I'm not sure what the year or model # is since I'm at work. Someone tried to tell me I need an expensive pressurized tank that has dual lines. There is only space for one line at the connector on the engine. It basically looks like a Mercury connection,just smaller and shallower. There are 2 lines coming off the connection going to the engine so I'm stumped if I can convert this to another style or not."
 
"David, the Apache's were

"David, the Apache's were Clintons J5/J6/J9 series and all those models had fuel pumps and a single line.

"Someone" was a little confused between Clinton and OMC. OMC did have models, late 50's for sure that had a dual hose, one to pressurize the gas tank with a line then up ultimately to the carb....

What I would do is go with a more readily available connection. All my motors, especially my Mercs have been converted to modern OMC connections (the cheapest on the market) - they are universal so regardless of what I have hanging on the back of the boat, I can use a single fuel line without fumbling around for the Merc/Yamaha type, Merc bayonette type etc etc...."
 
How would one go about doing t

How would one go about doing that? The fuel pump is on the tiller handle. The only way I can figure is to run a small hose off the existing port and connect an OMC fitting. Would this be correct or is there a better way?
 
"The pump or the "connecti

"The pump or the "connection" - you can move the connection back to the cowl unless you are bent on keeping it "original".

If you just want functional, you can fashion a small bracket, or cut a hole in the cowl etc etc.."

"Kathy, that is a 1979, single cylinder 7.5 horse built by Clinton and sold by Montgomery Wards under their SeaKing line.

This particular model was sold by Wards in 1978/79/80.

The Clinton model (as noted in the type) is a K751.

I have an original owners/parts manual for that model in PDF format. If you would like it, just click on my name (to the left) and drop me an email - I get lot's of mail so if you put K751 in the subject I will remember what you are looking for


Both Clinton and Wards are long out of business, but should it ever require parts www.laingsoutboards.com is a good source for most items you might need."

"Kevin, she was made by Clinto

"Kevin, she was made by Clinton (now long out of business).

Clinton sold engines under their own name, plus built many for Montgomery Wards which were sold as Sea Kings through the 1970's.

It's a 1972, single cylinder, 5 horse.

The K500's came in two different versions - a purely air-cooled and a blended (air cooled powerhead, water cooled exhaust).

I don't have detailed enough Clinton lists to be able to tell you exactly what you have based on your model numbers. (but suspect that the 1106A part indicates that this is a "blended" model, so there will be an impeller in the lower unit).

In any case, neither model had an air-cleaner and both run on the same mix -

40:1 (the manual actually calls for 3oz oil/per gallon of gas = 42.66:1 - 40:1 is close enough) using regular unleaded and 2 stroke engine oil (such as used for lawnmowers/chainsaws - NOT Marine TCW3 oil which is designed to burn in cooler running engines)..."

"Thank you Graham,
looks like my engine is with water cooled exhaust.
Want to show pictures to make sure it don't need air filter, cleaner or any cap on carburetter.

"Nice looking little motor. And yes, even though it would seem that there should be an air filter or baffle or something there, that's the way it was designed - the carb just hangin' there like that.

The little Merc's (6/8/9.9/15 horse models) had the carb just hangin' like that well up until the mid/late 1990's.

The oldest of my three models with no carb cover of any kind is a 1986 that I have had since new. It has over 2000 hours of run time on it and the lack of a filter or cover has not caused it any issues..."
 
I picked up a Clinton 7hp K700

I picked up a Clinton 7hp K700 series motor dirt cheap at an auction. Any idea how to drain and fill the lower unit? Or do I need to remove the prop and the four screws that hold on the bottom portion. The normal drain/fill screws are not on this one. I ran it for a minute to make sure it works and it does great! Now want to service it to keep it that way. Thanks for your time.
