My SWAG is that they are for something like a Billy Goat, where the shaft turns a blower wheel and the whole mess is on wheels. What displacement does it seem to be? Are there any markings at all
on it? Is that a clutch on the shaft opposite the prop hub? What brand and number is the carb? More importantly than what they are, is do they run and with what size prop and what rpm? Good luck, let us now if you find out more.

Though the Stihl 015 makes good power for its displacement . . .
You are going to need to shed half its weight as shown to use it as a airplane engine.
All the extra material in the bottom bearing cap needs to be removed.
The prop hub needs to be changed from steel to aluminum.
Possibly change it over to RCEXL style ignition to save weight.

A better - lighter candidate would be this Chinese made Stihl MS 180 copy with more power and less weight - less labor 32cc $32.68. . .
