That's a 1979 model. The Sears model number would be 217.585831. With that, you can look up exploded view parts diagrams at www.searspartsdirect.com. Some parts are available there, including your carburetor knob. You'll find it in the powerhead assembly list.

If she is a long idle hand me down expect a long hard climb that may you not comeplete.
