Clinton outboard barnfind question

[Outboard Butch]

I just purchased this small outboard in excellent condition but need to know more about it. Model: XTV50575B Serial: 1571235 Type: K7516106A ....I would like to know what HP, year, and where I can get a owners manual and parts. I was told it was a 2.5 HP and need to know if the spark plug is correct before I run it for any length of time. I think it has been hanging in the barn for years and run very little looking at the condition of the prop.

Re: Clinton outboard barnfind question

based upon some of the numbers provided i can tell you a little about it. the K751 series were produced between 1976-1980 and it is a 7.5 hp. the plug is a j13y which is no longer available subtitute a rj14yc and service manual recommends a gap of ".025 in" you could probably run it a at ".030" if you have trouble . fuel ratio is 48-1 and it indicates a solid state ignition if i've got the right numbers in this service manual. good luck you may have found a diamond in the rough. make sure you tank test as i believe it is water cooled.
