Here is a link to a shop that carries parts for antique outboards. I purchased a complete gasket kit and lower block seal for $25 delivered.

I really hope this thread is helpful to some. I have been wrenching on this outboard for a few months now. It took me plenty of research to learn about this motor and Clinton Motors Corp. I do own a owners manual (which i will post here in text format soon) and a compltet parts list. Please email me at ckswanecamp@yahoo.com if you have any questions regarding this motor. Its been a pain in my fn ***. And yet I still tinker wit this piece of junk. LOL
