4 Hp Clinton carburetor

[Rosco 11]

Finally getting around to restoring RJ 58 it has a 4 Hp Clinton motor I would like to rebuild the carburetor so I'm looking for carburetor rebuild kit and I also know noticed the carburetor Bowl is toast. Does anyone know if I can still get parts for this bad Larry I'm sure this is just the tip of the iceberg.  Can you still get head gaskets Rings valve if anyone could steer me in the right direction for getting parts and manuals I would deeply appreciate it

Thanks Rosco

Can you get a photo of the carb?
Some Clintons used a Tillotson, some had a Carter. I've owned dozens of those engines. May have some parts.

We have here a member Charlie that goes by the name of @clintonnut. He is the resident expert on Clinton engines. Not only is he  extremely capable but an all around great guy. Perhaps you can PM him or he will be checking in although I don't think he has been around much. And most likely he will have one already totally rebuilt for you should you decide to go that way. I personally own a couple rebuilt by him.

If you don't find a carb bowl, you can probable repair yours.  I've repaired an aluminum kohler bowl that was pitted through with JB Weld.  it's been in service for a year and no leaks.  I've read of others doing this as well.
