That’s a 1947 3.5 HP made by West Bend for Sears. I don’t know where to get parts, but some West Bend parts will interchange. If it used a 3rd party magneto that some other manufacturers used, there may be ignition parts out there. Someone here probably knows what it has for a magneto.

Often carbs on these old motors can just be cleaned out and reassembled without a kit, sometimes you have to make a new bowl gasket if the old one doesn’t come off in one piece. I seldom buy a carb kit for any motor.
Good Luck!
