I was cleaning my garage again and stumbled across an old Clinton engine Model#701-AST I removed from an old scooter I had back in the 1960's. I remember that the scooter was a 1947 turtle-back that I thought was a Cushman. After talking to some Cushman collectors I know I found out that Cushman's motors were never produced by Clinton! I'm wondering now after doing some research that this motor was used on the 1946-7 King Super Cycle which looked exactly like my old scooter. It was also used on the 1st Doodlebugs (1946-7) for about a year and 1/2 until they went to B & S engines. It's all cast iron with an aluminum head, has a stator for 6 volt lighting, and a kick starter. The date casting is 03/19/46. I really want to know what brand scooter mine was and what else this motor was used on!
A LITTLE HELP PLEASE!?!?!?
