What carb is this?

I tore the thing apart. The float chamber was severely corroded and most of the passageways were plugged. The float bowl screw had no internal jet, it was a plain screw. Threw me for a loop for a while, figured someone had messed with it before me at first. Anyway spent some time with carb cleaner and some fine steel wire to clear up the ports and it started right up. Thanks for the advice guys, I might order a complete carb anyway just because the thing is so cruddy.

Got to love E10 fuel. Did it look like someone poured acid inside the bowl? That is what E10 fuel will do.

Strangely the bowl was pretty decent, but the body of the carb that makes up the rest of the float chamber is horrible. I think the mower has been sitting for at least a decade or two.

I meant inside the carb body, my bad. I've had them where you couldn't even get the main jet out from all the corrosion.
