What is this ?

[bigbuddy29]

Ok what kind of motor is this ? Thinking of putting on a trike for my grandson's. If i can get it running

Dunno what it is, but how do you intend to use that vertical shaft to run a horizontal axle?
EDIT- The more I look at it, the more I'm convinced it's a two-stroke. If that's the case, you're lucky. With intake mods, you can run it horizontally.

It's certainly a 2 stroke, no idea what it is though. Do you know what it came off? Eg lawnmower, outboard ect ect.

Thanks

75% sure its a villers engine, there an old engine, and the shape of the cooling fins and the tank are very similar, but then im not totaly positive.

Possibly, but I do not think so. I first thought it was an RPM engine, or an early Lawn-Boy model "A" (Iron Horse?). Could be an early West-Bend.
There must be other identifiers on the engine...somewhere.
The split case is a hint.
