On the tube that just sits in the grommet I use a little silicone to seal that area up better. Next time you do an oil change add a 3/8 nipple and elbow to have less messy oil changes. Recently parted out one of these machines if you need something let me know. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A little penetrating oil might but taking it apart is best. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are at least three recoils that I know of that is correct for a Clinton 1200/1290. Fairbanks Morse being the most common. Should be easy peasy but they all take different cups. I have manuals on all of them if you need. Engine Clinton Recoil starter ID.pdf That is a nice looking RJ ... Edited 1 hour ago by WHX?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
