1955-57-ish Clinton VS200 1.6HP with spark and compression. Seems pretty complete. The 6" rim matches the 4 that were on a 1960 or so Ruttman kart I got from the same place. I'm gonna find out who is dropping this stuff :)

Last week's find. Compression and spark. Carb bottom adjuster buggered and it had a broken exh stud. I drilled it out. I'll sell/trade it or use it for the kids.

Gold Tecumseh H50

Dug this thing out of a dumpster one handed with my tore up finger.. :doah: All i saw was the motor mount, totatlly uside down in the box, dig it out to find this...

DAMN the damage.. :angry: At LEAST the damage was mostly contained to the beautiful small tank.. the cover got beat up, but the 67 H50 tag survived, and the flywheel survived.. 3/4 bore crank with the short correct dipstick...

Opened it up, it's an iron bore, decent condition still.. Valves and bore are all great..

how many of you guys do your clothes shopping at the junk yard? iv found 3 or 4 good jackets and hats. even walked away in a pair of new shoes once :laugh: they were way better than the ones i was wearing. and ofcorse always find sun glasses and regular glasses. gloves if theyre in good shape. mechanixwear gloves aint cheap. always look for key chains too. i have a pretty good collection going. Always find tools. last time i went i found about 25 sockets and 4 pairs of pliers. I always find bent but still good sawzall blades. I think the yardman just chucks them constantly. its worth the trip for the random junk alone

I like going out with zero tools. Find the best stuff then.
