There does look to be a tag and as you correctly point out it is completely covered in paint. I’ll have to pull the cover again and try to clean it off later today.
Well I’m still stumped. Here’s what I’ve been able to decipher on the carburetor. The bottom of the bowl is stamped Walbro. It also looks to be a LMB model. Bad news is the model number looks to have been a double stamp which makes the numbers nearly impossible to make out clearly. It looks like it could be a 181 or 191 maybe. There are also two other numbers stamped on the opposite side, 1175 and 1014.
I’ll try to look closer at the carburetor later today and see if I can get more details. At first I thought it was a Walbro so you have me curious now...
Thanks! Well, this certainly isn’t normal for me. I came into these last three machines kind of all at one time which never seems to happen. I try to look at eBay and the local Craigslist in the evenings for a little bit. Now that I have a couple in the stable it’s time to start cleaning them up and working on them.
This out board looks like the original color was a bright almost metallic blue, definitely a marine color.

Much better picture of the Clinton K-150 Outboard in the 1975 brochure here;
I wasn’t able to get the price I wanted but it’s hard to pass it up when it’s in your hands. It does have some damage on the mount but I probably won’t actually use this for its intended purpose. The camo paint is a let down, would be much better if it had the original paint scheme. Turns out this is actually an outboard produced by Clinton and its a model K-150. My eye must be getting sharper. I was just scrolling through Craigslist and the recoil starter is what caught my attention - I knew it had to be a 13B or 20A...
I think I’m 99% sure I may have just found one. I’m hoping to go see it this evening. If it turns out to indeed be such an animal I’m guessing I should try to get it??? The guy is asking a bit much for it and it’s been spray painted camouflage for use on a duck hunting boat.
Yes, I was quite pleased to find this. I had hoped some day I might come across one and I did unexpectedly. It looks to be complete. I might put it all back together today just for grins if I get some time. The fuel vent is all cracked and pieces of plastic are missing so it’s junk and I’ll have to figure out an alternative.
I agree, seems like more of these would pop up given how common the newer mini tillers seem to be.
Recent addition to the collection is a Derby Tiller. Here are the as-received photos. Definitely needs a good clean-up. It might be a little while before I get to this one but I’ll add some photos as soon as I can do an initial wipe down.
I was able to find small rubber grommets at my local hardware store - like an Ace Hardware that fit for the Governor vane. I’ve had to make the little roller piece as well like Wallfish said - I think I found some rod/wire at a Hobby shop that was the right diameter.
FYI- I think if you look up O&R Chainsaw right now on eBay you’ll find the recoil cup. These don’t come up often and I thought about buying it myself but you are in need of it now for this project and I would just keep it for use as a future spare. Let me know if decide not to buy it.

I never saw it either. I check frequently on a daily basis. I’m surprised this didn’t show up.
