You have a 1967, air cooled 4 horse motor. It was built by McCulloch and marketed through Sears under their Elgin model name, with this particular one being part of the their Ted Williams line.

There is still normal maintenance parts available for these from a number of souces (plugs/carb kits etc).

This being an aircooled engine, I believe you should be mixing gas/oil at 25:1 - and not normal 2 stroke outboard oil, I believe they would call for general 2 cycle oil, such as used in a chainsaw or lawnmower...

Jon, that is a 1969, air-cooled, single cylinder, 4 horse built for Sears (Canada - formerly Simpson's Sears) by McCulloch.

McCulloch sold out a few years back to MTD (who makes all kinds of small engine stuff). Some, but not all of the patents went with the sale.

You could try taking the carb to a small engine place to see if they can find something that will cross match or fit or you may try finding a machine shop that could try and fix your issue.

Some parts for your motor are available possibly on this site. Andrew who runs this site stocks some McCulloch parts, but a whole carb may take a bit of looking...

What you have is a 1965 Simpson Sears (Canada) model built by Clinton.

Clinton made the 3.5 horse especially for Sears and so no direct cross reference to one of their own branded motors is possible (at least in these model years).

It may have the same components as Clinton's model J350 (early 70's), but there is little to no documentation on these motors that I can look up and say for sure.

While Clinton produced this model for Sears in Canada, they never produced it for Sears in the U.S., possibly due to the fact that they were cranking out engines for Mongomery Wards - Sears competition. That made this model extremely rare (but I didn't say valuable - it's still just a little air cooled generic motor worth 20-50 bucks).

Your best bet may be to pull the carb and take it into a local small engine shop. Either a Briggs or Tecumseh dealer (if they are helpful/patient) may be able to find some parts to help you out...

Ted, that is a 1967 Clinton built 3.5 horse. I may have an owners manual on computer - will have a dig around and see if I can find it for that particular model.

i guess the main reason i wanted the owners manual is i don't know how to adjust the lean/ rich adjustments and don't want to harm the engine. if someone can give me a good explination on how to do so i would really appreciate it. thanks alot graham for that knowledge. would still be lost if it wasn't for you
thanks
Ted
