Hello,
I have a vintage Clinton Corp. outboard motor. It was manufactured in Maquoketa, IA. The model # of my little outboard is: J9 1106, Serial # is: 31235.
It appears to me to be a 5 h.p., 1959-1967 model, but I can't seem to narrow it down exactly. The J9 series started in 1959, but was made for several years thereafter.
Can any of you narrow this outboard down specifically?
Is there somewhere where parts would still available?
Also, I believe it is a four-stroke, but not sure.
Thank you.
Darrell

the J9-1106 was a 1968 5hp and none were 4 strokes. Air / water cooled. The powerhead is air cooled like a lawnmower but the water cools the exhaust leg.

For break in use 1/2 pint to a gallon. Regular is 4 oz.of 2 stroke or outboard oil.
SAE 90 for the gear case.
