Identify this motor?

[kevinrude]

Any ideas? Appears to be 60s, maybe 70s. Kinda cute, in an ugly sorta way.

[kevinrude]

No ideas, eh?

Darn it, I guess I am going to have to buy it to find out!

[patrickz]

I’m going to vote Eska.

I’m guessing Tanaka, but have never seen one with a metal tank.

[kevinrude]

Well, after looking at some Tanaka’s online, I gotta believe that’s what this is. They all have the double leg, tiny anti-cav plate and that round cap on the right side of the motor which, I am guessing, is the carb?!? Tanaka apparently made a lot of motors called GameFisher; not sure who the retail outlet there was.

I take your point regarding the metal tank Auldscott. Most of the ones I found online were shrouded in plastic. Might be an early one?

Looks like a Clinton two horse I sold a couple years ago.

There’s something fishy about that Clinton.

EDIT: Well I’ll be danged. After seeing retiredoz’ picture below, maybe there was such a thing as a Clinton such as that. Obviously, somebody else made it for Clinton. Or simply stole the name (??)

That is not a Tanaka Gamefisher (Sears). Owned four.

I vote for Tanaka or maybe Gamefisher. Gamefishers were sold by Sears

One of these with a metal tank ? Clinton K-150
