          The 574 Prefix Sears Engines were made by McCulloch. In addition to Laings you can try discount marine parts in Wisconsin. All you may need is a good basic tune-up….clean and adjust the points, clean or replace the plugs, take the carb off and give it a thorough cleaning. You may need a bowl gasket to do that or you may well be able to re-use the one on there.

            If it was run lean by the previous owner the reeds may be burned. Had this happen to a similar motorwhen I was a kid. So if a time up, including new condensers doesn’t help, consider checking the reeds.
