I just got this yesterday, its a Clinton model A301. It is all original except for the spark plug and fuel line and it is in really good condition too.
the only inherited ones are the ones I just mentioned, others were either bought, given to me, or garbage found. I have a bit of a collection, but not nearly as much as you lol
ahh i see it has the famous carter model N carberator! good carb! used by clinton kohler, i just pulled one off a dead reo mowers engine. ive heard tecumsehs used them. . . very very popular small engine carb! one of the best! i have had fewer problems with carter carbs than most other small engine carbs!
most of my engines were owned by my grandparents from both sides of my family! so i have inherited quite a few things that no one else in the family has any interest in.
my dad had a few clintons as a kid. he had an old wheel horse with a clinton that he modified into a racing tractor, unfortunately thats long gone, the only engines he had as a kid that are left are the old lawnboy iron horse engine that i restored, the little steam engine and the 2 model airplane engines
clintons are pretty good, although i had a bad experience with my first clinton, i got ripped off when i bought it, bought it from ebay, got it and found it had a bad ignition, rebuilt that, had a screwed up carb, fixed that, has a horrible rod knock, the previous owner had also taken it apart and did a very bad job putting it back together, i was never able to get it running right, so its just stored away for a rainy day when i have time
Hey I have a 1989 6hp engine I got off a go kart and I can't seem to find parts for it

Heck, even OMC Snowmobiles used the Carter N, Even in -30 temperatures they still have great reliability.

well thats the fault of an ignorant individual who must have been flying by the seat of their pants trying to repair it.
