Dave,
The motor is listed as 1931, 2.75 hp. Glad to see someone picked that up last Saturday. I have one and it’s actually pretty fast.
Be extremely careful with that carb, including mounting it. I believe there should be a gasket between the carb and the jug, but be careful to use something that’s the correct thickness. The carb needs to be in the correct location to be able to bolt up the supports. It is extremely fragile, compared to most, and will be difficult to replace. Do NOT carry the motor with the folding handle!
I believe there are ELTO, Lockwood, and OMC versions of the motor, and decals available for each one. A little hunting should turn something up. I have one for mine, but I can’t recall where it came from. I think the correct one is in the photo below.
Send me some dimensions of the carb float valve and needle, I can probably match something up from a different Tillotson carb. I wouldn’t try too hard to get the seat out. If it’s stuck, let it be and just replace the needle. If the motor floods, use the fuel shutoff valve to fill the carb before starting, close it, then open it back up when the motor is running.
Tom
