NOTE 4. The C75-8 series engines are similar to the C75-12 and C85-12 series except that they do not incorporate provisions
for generator and starter drives.
The C85 series engines are similar to the corresponding C75 series except for rating and a different carburetor
setting.
The C75-12B engine is similar to the C75-12 except that it incorporates a Stromberg PS-3 pressure carburetor (P/N
40284) at weight increase of 3 lb. See NOTE 3 for fuel pump.
The C75-15 and C85-15 series engines are identical to the C75-12 and C85-12 series except that they incorporate
modified mounting lugs for Lord flexible mount assemblies. Increased engine motion results and must be provided
for in the installation.
The C85-14F is the same as the C85-12F except that it incorporates provisions for modified mounting lugs for Lord
flexible mounting assemblies that are used on the C90-I4F engine.
Those models listed in the heading of this data sheet suffixed by letters F, H and J, differ from the basic model
designation as follows:
"F" denotes an SAE No. 1 flanged crankshaft rather than 0 taper, at weight increase of 1 lb.
"H" denotes a special SAE No. 1 flanged crankshaft and special crankcase for installation of hydraulically operated
controllable pitch propeller requiring oil supply through crankshaft.
"J" denotes a fuel injector. Ex-Cell-O model A-41 (P/N 40572) or Ex-Cell-O model B-41 (P/N Ex-A40791) instead
of a carburetor, at weight increase of 4 lb.
