Chainsaw flywheel fins go the wrong way on a normal (CCW) Clinton engine. They also have a different keyway position. Boat flywheel should bolt right on.

Crank for A400, or A490? I can look. A Clinton boat motor flywheel should be heavier. There are several on ebay. Weigh yours and have an ebay seller weigh theirs before you buy. Should look like this one.

I usually remove the governor and install a belcrank throttle linkage if the right carb is available. It has to have a place for the screw.

Wondering if you got it running.

It can be done, but I think I would just find a Tillotson that was designed for alcohol. If you are determined to do it, ask on one of the Go Kart Facebook groups, like VKA. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1394603367499268

Make sure the recoil isn't the problem. Sometimes they jam and nothing turns. You might get lucky!

I'll message my paypal address.

The 83-12-500 flywheel is CCW. it is the one in upper left above - $25 The linkage kit is $25. The better rod is $50 if shipped in the same box Shipping for above - $18

Yeah, it is a lefty, which is correct for your kart. Then the upper left flywheel will work. Is the engine in decent shape? Rope start engines typically are pretty old.

83-66-500 flywheel is for a reverse rotation engine ( clockwise rotation viewed looking at the PTO). That was an option for karts that need a an engine on the right rear of the kart, before 'live axles' were available. So the kart you are working on will dictate the engine position and rotation...

I checked and I do have some aluminum flywheels

A picture of the LMB70 would help. Throttle linkage for those Clintons is tricky once you remove the governor. It doesn't get any easier with a Tillotson, as the fan housing will get in the way of the mixture needles or the linkage. A Go Power manifold helps, but they are pricey. I have Clinton...

I'm confused! :) PM sent with paypal address
