I just picked up a 580 that has a Caruso or maybe capuso centered intake/stuffer on it. Kinda looks like a go power from what I have seen, not sure what the reed plate is I am guessing maybe Gem (if It is can I get new reeds for it :shrug:)

Used WB 820. CW rotation (looking at the PTO). This came off of a Sno Runner so it has a light coil. Stepped crankshaft, I believe it's 9/16" down to 5/8". Tillotson HL320A Carb. Carb is nice and clean, not gummed up but I'm sure it would need at least a gasket kit and a good cleaning. Bore...

As it is, I can't tighten both nuts on exhaust flange down onto the engine head...
