Clark Cyclops & Salsbury Torque Converter questions..
Hi Guys.. We picked up the mystery machine we were asking about. On the belt cover it says cyclops and on the torque converter belt it says "Clark Cyclops" 5709. So I guess it was made by Clark mfg in conyers GA. The only clark that we find on any sites is that army looking bike that does not resemble this in the least. Does anyone have any ads for clark's in old mags etc that shows a model like this? Anybody have one like this?
It has a nice Tecumseh HS40 with lighting coil and a salsbury 330 torque converter. Are the 330 and 340 parts interchangable? Do they share parts with comet's older symmetric systems? It has a 5/8 belt.
Someone also must have forced the choke lever and now it's snapped away at the top from the actual choke shaft. Any tricks for fixing this or is it just easier to find and buy a new? Also the rear wheel must have been swapped out for a non stock 10" somewhere along the line, Will have to deal with it unless someone has one hanging on a nail in the garage...
Overall it looks like it did not see much use. Sure hope someone can find at least an ad for it... Email oscarhedstrom at hotmail.com THANKS
