sten 84 #1 Posted May 13, 2017 Thought I would have a look at an old Clinton engine I have in the shed, it's a B1290 petrol paraffin but unfortunately missing the carb, after closer inspection I think it is a new old stock engine. On the cowling is a decal with Trojan Works, Purley Way. As the little tractors that Trojan made in the 60's were either red or blue does anyone know what this could have been fitted to as it is yellow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cub Cadet 613 #2 Posted May 13, 2017 Just the engine I needed for my Wheel Horse rj58 i've just bought, I know that lots of Clinton engines came from the factory yellow. The one which I have is also yellow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 4,458 #4 Posted May 13, 2017 The yellow could mean it's a factory recon engine. BMC used to paint their recon engines gold. Just a thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wristpin 400 #5 Posted May 13, 2017 As well as the obvious items Trojan used to supply a lot of stuff for the early days of karting in the late 50s including Clinton engines and I think that they were the Clinton distributor for the UK together with Lambretta scooters under the Lambretta Concessionaires banner.
