FACTS ABOUT YOUR NEW CLINTON 2 CYCLE ENGINE
TYPES OF ENGINES
There are two basic types of small air
cooled gasoline engines, those operating
on four stroke cycle (commonly referred
to as four cycle) and those operating on
a two stroke cycle (commonly referred to
as two cycle) . The principal difference
between the above types is the number of
power strokes or the number of times the
engine fires for each revolution of the
crankshaft.
The four cycle engine has a
power stroke or "fires" every other com-
plete revolution of the crankshaft, while
the two cycle has a power stroke on every
complete revolution of the crankshaft. An-
other basic difference is in the method of
lubrication.
The four cycle engine retai ns
a reservoir of oil in the crankcase, and dis-
tributes this oil throughout the moving
parts
'of the engine by means of a pump
or dip finger. The two cycle engine is lu-
bricated solely by the correct amount of
SAE #30 Motor oil (Mineral) mixed
with the Gasoline. The gasoline and oil
mixture is compressed and forced through-
Out the crankcase and combustion area of
the engine. Thus the oil content of the
fuel mixture lubricates the moving parts
of the engine. Your Clinton Engine is the
two cycle type, and therefore, the discus-
sion in this manual will pertain only to
this type of engine.
THE TWO CYCLE PRINCIPLE
In your Clinton two cycle engine, the
piston acts as both an intake and exhaust
valve- Assume that the cylinder is filled
with a mixture of air and fuel, and the
piston is at the bottom of its stroke. As
the crankshaft revolves the piston rises,
and the mixture of air and fuel is then
compressed in the combustion chamber.
Whe n the piston is near its highest point,
GENERAL VIEW
the 'compressed mixture is then ignited,
which forces the piston to descend and
gives the power stroke.
During this up-
ward stroke of the piston a vaccum is
created in the crankcase which draws a
fresh mixture of fuel and air through the
reed valve into the crankcase
(the crank-
case being an air tight casting containing
the crankshaft and connecting rod assern-
blies.) With the downward stroke of the
piston, the charge is compressed in the
crankcase. As the piston approaches the
bottom of its stroke, its movement un-
covers the exhaust port, through which
the burnt gases escape from the combus-
tion chamber, which immediately causes
the pressure within the chamber to fall.
As the piston continues its downward
motion, it then uncovers an inlet port
and a fresh charge of air and fuel forces
its way into the combustion chamber from
the crankcase. This incoming fresh charge
of fuel pushes the remainder of the burnt
gases out through the exhaust pOrt. A pro-
jection on the top of the piston deflects
the fresh charge and prevents it from
passing directly across the cylinder and
out the exhaust port.

PRECISION BUILT
Your Clinton Engine has been preci-
sion built and specifically engineered to
the purpose of your equipment.
It has
been carefully inspected throughout all
phases of its production and assembly by
men who are devoting their lives to the
production of fine air cooled gasoline en-
gines. Your Clinton is the finest two cycle
gasoline engine of its type that money
can buy.
CARBURETION
The carburetor (see Fig. No .1) on
your engine is of the latest design, engi-
neered and, calibrated exactly for your en-
gine to assure you of the best possible
performance and efficiency. The standard
float-type carburetor or the economy suc-
tion-type, may be selected for use on your
engine, depending upon the rnanufacrurer
of your equipment and /or the engine ap-
plication.
IGNITION
The magneto used on your Clinton
(see Fig.
,No.7) is a flywheel type which
produces high voltage at cranking speeds
to insure easy starting. This magneto gives
positive protection from dirt, dust and
moisture accumulating in the magneto
and assures trouble-free performance in
starting your Clinton when it is subjected
to high humidity and dusty conditions
COOLING
An air blast created by the rotation of
the finned flywheel is directed over the
cooling fins on the cylinder block and
head. This results in an exceptionally cool
running engine.
LUBRICATION
The oil (SAE #30 motor oil-mineral),
which is combined with gasoline in the
proper amount in the fuel mixture (see
"Fuel Preparation for Clinton 2-Cycle
Engines") , is distributed to the bearings
and moving parts of the engine requiring
lubrication. Since clean fresh oil is being
continuously supplied to the engine in
the fuel mixture, there is no necessity for
re-circulation of used oil. After the oil in
the fuel is once used for lubrication, it is
immediately burned up in the combustion
chamber and discharged through the ex-
haust pOrt.
GOVERNOR
Your Clinton engine is equipped with
a positive automatic
(air controlled ) gov-
ernor which insures a controlled and con-
stant speed under all operating condi-
tions. The governor allows the engine
to
operate at the same speed with or without
the load to which the engine is being sub-
jected. The engine speed will not exceed
the predetermined setting". This means
that your engine will always operate at
the proper speed and will not run "wild,"
resulting in less wear and fewer repairs.
SERVICING FACILITIES FOR YOUR CLINTON ENGINE
If your engine requires expert adjusting and repair service, contact your
local factory approved Clinton authorized service station, which you will find
listed in the classified section of
your telephone directory under "Engines-Gasoline."
You may also

CAUTION BEFORE STARTING
A quick visual inspection of your en-
gine is recommended before you atte
mpt
[()operate it. Inspect for possible damages
that may have occurred
dur ing shipment
and handling. Examine the blower hous-
ing and shrouds for possible dents or dis-
rorrions that may interfere with the mov-
ing parts , Check the gas line and fuel sys-
tem .
to be sure that they are properly
intact; the spark plug high tension lead is
securely fastened
to the spark plug termi-
nal, air cleaner is securely fastened so as
to properly filter the air. Be sure the
engine is firmly mounted
to the equip-
ment so as not
to create any vibration
when the engine is operated.
STARTING INSTRUCTIONS
1.Make sure you have a sufficient supply
of fuel mixture in gas tank.
2.Open stop cock on bottom of gas tank.
3. Adjust speed
COntrol lever to position
the lever toward the spark plug which
will give approximately one-half throt-
tle opening of the carbure tor.
4.
Turn choke lever on the carburetor into
choke position
... horizontal.
5.
If your engine is equipped with a tog-
gle shut-off switch, turn switch
to "on"
position before cranking.
6.Crank engine by use of rope starter
(s ee
Fig.
No .2) , or recoil (au tomatic re-
tractable) starter (see Fig. No. 3).
(Pull rope with a quick
but steady pull
in order
to prevent any possibility of
the rope fouling on the engine st
art er
pulley.)
7. After engine has started, release choke
gradually to vertical position.
8. Allow engine to run at approximately
half throttle for a period of one
minute ,
thus giving your engi ne an opportunity
to establish uniform temperature and
pressure throughout.
9.Set speed adjustment screw (see Fig.
No .1 ) to position throttle control lever
for desired operating speed.
The gov-
ern or will then maintain a constant
speed' and will automatically compen-
sate for any engine loads that your
equipment may be subjected to during
operation. You may reset the speed ad-
justment screw, whenever it is neces-
sary, for a heavier or lighter work
load.
The governor will then maintain
the selected speed at all times.

STOPPING INSTRUCTIO~S
,
The engine may be sropped in one of
two manners depending upon the equip-
ment found on your particular engine.
1. Press shorting clip firmly against the
rop of the spark plug terminal until
engine has completely sropped running.
(There is no danger of the operator
being shocked as long as the clip is
held firmly against the spark plug ter-
minal.)

CARBURETOR-POWER RANGE
ADJUSTMENT (Flout Type Carburetor)
Start your engine and let it run a few
minutes until the engine has acquired uni-
form temperature and pressvre. Then
open throttle about 1
/3 to give about 2/3
of the full speed of the engine. Slowly
turn the needle valve (see Fig. No
.1)
clockwise until engine begins to lose
speed.
The n turn the needle in the oppo-
sire direction until the engine begins
to
accelerate. The leanest mixture between
these two points will allow a satisfactory
acceleration and steady governor action.
This will give the proper adjustment.
(Clockwise movement of needle will lean
mixture; coumer clockwise .rnovement
will richen mixrure.)
IDLE M IXTURE ADJUSTMENT
This adjustment is made, following the
power range adjustment, with the engine
7

idling at approximately 2200 r.p.m.'s.
Slowly turn the idle adjusting needle
clockwise until the engine begins to miss
or lose speed. Then turn needle in counter
clockwise direction until the engine 'runs
smoothly again. The point at which the
engine is running smoothly will deter-
mine the proper setting.
flOODING (Excessive fuel mixture
in combustion
chamber)
This condition can be created by over-
choking, tipping the engine to an extreme
forward angle or cranking a hot engine
with the use of the choke which may
cause toO much fuel to be drawn into the
crankcase and combustion chamber. The
fuel mixture therefore becomes too rich
for combustion. Also it may be possible
that the shut-off needle in the carburetor
does not seat properly and allows the fuel
to flowunrestricted into the crankcase. To
correct-turn shut-off cock to "off" posi-
tion under fuel tank, continue to crank
the engine until it starts and re-open shut
off cock fuel valve under fuel tank. If the
carburetor continues to overflow with
fuel after the ' engine has started, gently
tap the body of the carburetor which will
usually unseat the needle if it should be
temporarily stuck. The disassembly and
cleaning may be necessary to correct this
condition if not remedied by above
method. Extreme cases of flooding occur
when the engine has been allowed to
stand with the spark plug in a downward
position causing a large quantity of .fuel
to run into the crankcase and combustion
chamber. If this occurs, remove the spark
plug and drain the fuel from the combus-
tion chamber, because you will not be
able to turn the engine over by hand with
a large amount of fuel in the combustion
chamber. Wipe spark plug terminals dry
with a rag. (Be sure to tighten spark plug
sufficiently to eliminate the danger of a
compression leakage around the plug.)

GOV ERNOR (Pneum atic or
air velocity type)
Whe n the governor is operating prop-
erly, the air vane will be activated by an
air stream created from the finned fly-
wheel in the blower housing. The forces
of the air against the air vane are counter-
balanced by the tension created by a cali-
brated governor spring. Loss of engine
speed will decrease the air velocity against
the air vane and allow the air vane to be
moved counter-clockwiseby the calibrated
governor spring tension which will open
the throttle on the carburetor to imme-
diately restore the engine speed to the
constant governor setting. The opposite
is true when the engine increases speed.
The air blast is immediately increased
against the air vane and forces the air
vane clockwise which in turn closes the
throttle in the carburetor to reduce the
engine speed thus created, and maintain a
constant setting of the speed on the en-
gine at all times. To insure proper opera-
tion, the governor spring must be free to
move. The linkage connecting the air
vane and carburetor must be free from
dirt deposits so as not to disturb the bal-

ance between the air vane ,and ·the cali-
brated governor spring.
The cleaning of
the air vane and the lever 'linkage is ac-
cessible when the blower housing is re-
moved.
The governor normally requires very
little servicing unless the engine has been
exposed to very dusty and dirty operating
conditions ' that may cause an excessive
amount of dirt to be sucked in through
the blower housing and deposited on the
moving partS of the governor linkage
within the blower housing.
MAGN ETO ASSEMBLY (Flywheel Type)
The magneto assembly is readily acces-
sible by removing the blower housing,
flywheel, and breaker point dust cover.
Removal of these parts makes it very easy
/ to check the breaker
point setting and do
any cleaning that may befound necessary
in the entire magneto assembly (see Fig.
No.7).
BREAKER POINTS
The breaker point clearance gap can be
easily adjusted by the removal of the
dust cover from the' point assembly.

This gap should beadjusted with a feeler
gauge at .018 to .020 of an inch (see Fig.
No
.7) .
CONDENSER
It is generally advised to replace the
condenser whenever the contact points
show signs of pitting or oxidation. The
condenser has a capacity of 13 mfd and
should be tested for capacity, resistance,
and leakage whenever magneto difficulty
is experienced (see Fig.
No.7).

tact and proper insulation. Coil windings
will not normally give difficulty unless
mechanical damage has been experienced.
A check for possible grounds within the
coil is easily identified by the use of a

SPARK PLUG
A clean spark plug contributes to easy
starting, economy of operation, and maxi-
mum power..
When the spark plug be-
comes fouled, replace with new plug,
rather than attempting
to reclaim the used
plug through various cleaning methods.
Replace with either Champion
H-ll or
Auto Lite AL7. Adjust gap of plug to
.025 of an inch.

CLEANING OF VALVE PORTS-
EXHAUST
The only service required to the valve
ports is an occasional cleaning to remove
carbon deposits. Remove muffler assembly
from engine (see Fig.
No.8) which will
expose the exhaust valve ports and clean
with suitable instrument capable of scrap-
ing and removing the carbon deposits
within these ports, The engine should be
turned over by hand until piston moves
below the POrt openings which will al-
low greater access for the cleaning of these
parts. (Care should be taken so as not to
damage or score the porr when cleaning.)
FIG UREN o. 8
CLEANING OF VALVE PORTS- INTAKE
To clean the intake portS (see Fig.
No
.9) , it is necessary to remove the
bearing plate assembly which will then
expose these ports for easy cleaning. The
cleaning of these
POrtS will be accom-
plished in the same manner as described
in the cleaning of the exhaust valve pOrts.
The intake ports will normally require
very little servicing.

sion, poor carburetion, and low efficiency
in the general operation of the engine. It
is recommended, whenever the reed valves
are found to be distorted or bent out of
shape so as to cause leakage, that they be
replaced.
It is not recommended to re-
bend or invert the reed valve in repairing
and servicing this assembly.
The reed valve can be visually checked
for leakage by looking into the intake port
side of the reed plate and if light is de-
tected at the point where the reed valve
seats on the reed plate, it is then recom-
mended that the reed valve be replaced.
CLEANING OF MUFF LER

be due to excessive carbon accumulation
in the exhaust ports of the muffler. These

carbon restrictions may be cleaned by the
use of a screw driver tip or any suitable
instrument that will remove carbon de-
posits from these ports. In extreme cases
it may be necessary to remove the muffler
from the engine and clean from within
(see Fig. N o.8) . Proper cleaning and
removal of all carbon accumulations is
'. necessary to eliminate the possibility of
creating back pressure from the restric-
tion of the exhaust POrt of the muffler.
