Default Need help with motor ID

My flying buddy got this motor in a biplane about 12-15 years old. It looks like a gasser 45-50cc with Tillotson carb converted to glow with twin spark. Anyone recognize this thing?

Walker 4.2 Sachs if the bottom 2 crankcase bolts are parallel, if not it's an A&M...If the con rod is copper colored the crank is a Sachs crank....

Hi Antique,
My buddy is more into gassers. Do you have ignition module for something like this? If not, where do I send it to restore for gasoline use?
