Still a nice build though!!! Good work

The shaft on my larger clinton engine is 3/4" keyed shaft. What sort of spped do you think I will get out of a go kart powered by the larger one of clinton engine? The stroke length is around 43mm and the diameter is around 60mm (sorry for the metric) If this help then great but could you let...

I think you guys are right as I was given this engine as a present and it even has a flexi-drive hedge trimmer to attatch to it. I was thinking of showing this engine and now I probably will. I will look for another dirt cheap engine to use on a go kart!!! Cheers Guys:cheers2:

That is almost exactly the same as my smaller engine that is 3hp! What do you mean by supplying you with the bore and stroke? Will any of my clinton engines be suitable for a go kart? Thanks

I Agree with you mate!!!

Where will the name plate be? I have another clinton engine that is alot smaller than this one and it has a sticker on it stating that it is 3hp so I have reason to believe this is more than 3hp? Thanks Rob

I worked out that thengine is about 120cc...Will this be about 5 or 3 HP? Thanks

The shaft is a 3/4 inch with key slot! Do you think i will get more than 3600 rpm without govener?

Hi all, I am only 17 years old and this is the only engine I can get my hands on for free. It is an old clinton engine. It is a four stroke an dlater on I will measure the cylinder and work out how many cc it is. It is currently being used as a stationary engine and I dont want to modify the...

So an engine will run fine without a govener? Cool

Thanks for all the replies guys. I am only 17 and that is the only engine I have got and I cant afford a new one. So...Will this engine be suitable and what RPM will I get out of it. Thanks

Hello All Newbie Here. I have just decided to build my first go kart. I need to ask a few questions first. 1) I have an old clinton engine I think is 5HP and it is a 4 stroke, I think it is around 100cc or more but I was wondering what RPM I would get out of it if I took the govener off it...

Very Nice
