I want to create a Redstone clock that can be enabled and disabled with a lever permanently placed down.

Here's a selection of toggleable clocks of various periods and duty cycles - make your pick.
tuneable period of 5+ redstone ticks, about 50% duty cycle, just change the number of repeaters.
2rt period, 50% duty cycle, signal toggles between 15 and 2, so you need 2 extra redstone to make it actually switch on/off.
trivial observer clock, 2rt period.
4rt classic repeater clock, with observer on slime block to start it up instead of your torch.
trivial hopper clock, 15gt (7.5rt) period.
Fader, a slow clock with tuneable, long period; tuneable duty cycle (power level drops gradually on output; reduce it to cut-off threshold to tune the on:off ratio)
Etho clock. Period of up to 255 seconds depending on amount of items in the hoppers; 2rt off, remainder on duty cycle.

If I made errors in the timings, feel free to edit and correct, I was working from memory.– SF.Jan 20, 2021 at 22:00
You can use a sticky piston with an observer facing outwards into an empty block, and then another observer. the output of that observer is your clock. When the piston is powered (using a lever) the clock will start.

Oh i see what you did. Either way you can't turn it off without breaking/placing stuff– PenguinJan 20, 2021 at 22:38

Yeah based on their post, it didn't sound like they wanted to turn it off. The post is worded kind of weirdly– SalocorJan 21, 2021 at 2:43

1@Salocor The title states "turn on/off" with a lever, which this circuit does not do.– CorsakaJan 21, 2021 at 12:18

1No its not a troll. You can check my other profiles on stack exchange I don't troll people. Just trying to help. :(– SalocorJan 21, 2021 at 18:30
