Well kinda stuck on the clinton,the coil is shot.I've been checking around and this i'm afraid is going to be a hunt and a half.The info i've been gathering it's looking to be a 1948 clinton and i'm sure there is not coils floating around just anywhere.So I guess the searching begins.

Update October 3rd, 08 Got the engine completely done.I still need a gas cap.It's an odd size bigger than your standard push mower or even a lot of garden tractors.Scroll down to the bottom to see the finished engine.

This is a really cool little antique power mower I  picked up for $20.It's called a johnston,can't find much info on the mower but the engine is a little clinton 1.6 hp model 350.I found a complete gasket set and a decal on ebay really cheap.I'm hoping to fire the engine up soon but got to find a gas cap yet.It's a really odd size so far no luck.
