Clinton/Tecumseh connection?

#1 01-09-2003, 01:41 AM

Is there a connection between Clinton and Tecumseh? I have a small Clinton thats missing its id tag that I thought was a Tecumseh untill I saw the Clinton logo on the points cover. It has a Tecumseh coil and condenser on it. I've seen genuine Clinton coils on ebay that look exactly like Tecumseh ones. Did Tecumseh buy out Clinton? Did they get their ignition parts from the same outside source? Whatever happened to Clinton? Thanks in advance, Brian.

I think he got voted out of office. Dave in Holt.

this is just a guess, but ignition systems often come from an outside source, phelon, wico, and so on. could be they used the same source.

Actually he didn't get voted out of office. He just got to the end of his rope.

Last I knew Clinton was still around (just barely) still selling parts only for their engines.I hope they are still hanging in there.I would like to see what the factory looks like today,anyone have a pic? John.

Clinton had an auction the end of last year. Sold out all their parts and manufacturing machines.
