How about the 1964: 574.60030

Interesting, I cleaned up the carb this morning, and found a “159” on it.
At the time, I had no idea if was a Tillotson, Carter, or other, but
I had a new Carter N bowl gasket (for a Martin) that fit my carb perfect,
but when I just searched the Net for 159 carburetor, I found this post,
with the gentleman having the same carb, saying it was from a 1964 model,
and that the carb is a Walbro.
Ergo, my Elgin may be a Scott Made 1964 model.
