I purchased a Sears 9.0hp electric start. I don't know how old it is.
S/n 67600931-1221 model # 574.59551. When I purchased it the guy didn't have a gas tank so we put the motor it in a barrel of water and used a squirt bottle to put gas in the carb. It seemed to run fine. I took it home and got a tank. I put the motor in a barrel l of water, primed the bulb and she fired, then died. I havn't been able to start it sence then. Like I said it has electric start so it's not from lack of the engine turning over.
Any info would be greatlly appreacated.
Thanks Les

1967 made by McCulloch. I'm going to go with a varnished carburetor. But where to get parts? I haven't a clue. Hopefully it comes apart clean and tears no gaskets. Otherwise you'll have to make your own. Try www3.sears.com and have your model number handy.
