    If I’m reading the first 3 digits of the ID number correctly, that would be a model 571.58601 which would be a 1947 model 5.5hp motor. The 3 digits of the motor ID number make up the last 3 digits of the model number. Here’s a link to Elgin model numbers.

    You should be able to back the broken carburetor stud out once you remove the carb.
