There should be a model number stamped on an aluminum welsh plug located somewhere on the powerhead.

Other than tiller handle missing, looks like it’s in good shape.  I restored lot’s of those and sold them to local fishermen to finance my hobby.  Still have about 8 or 10 of them. Have fun!

you will find most carbs on oldys are very similar ….. they come with ls hs adj. needles  or  fixed jets later one.

the johnson bible  covers  jw cd  ad  qd  fds early 50s  to mid 60s  carb   ignition & timing    ph   gear case etc… all inclusive  450+ pages for 20$

I printed mine double sided  spring bound with plastic cover sheets for flat easy reading .  Local print shops  can do all that for about 30$
