Looks like a VW Beetle Solex carb. They are available new still.
No numbers or part # tags on it?
I see a manual cable choke and not the normal electric choke. Old Massey Ferguson tractors used the Continental 4 cylinder engines. It looks clean - was it rebuilt? You might get a std Solex $25 rebuild kit and take it apart and clean it.
See that? That is true community. True brotherhood. From old British bikes, to lawn mowers to construction equipment, the deeply knowledgeable men of SOC are here to tell you:
buy a rebuild kit and get to work on your carb.*

The early '55-70 CJ jeeps used Solex carbs on the F head engines.

It ain't the carbs, it's the operator/maintainer/mechanic of the carbs.
Thank you all very much. Also I believe that some linkages are missing because there isn’t any on it and it looks as if there should have at least a couple
I found this on engine real close to yours.
