Kinda looks like a Zenoah twin with a aftermarket ignition..The mufflers are Zenoah twin...
The case looks like a Horner twin..the cylinders could be Kawasaki 2 cu. in....Some early ones were made that way...
the manifold looks homemade...

Gerry, what kind of info do you want on this engine,looking at pictures I believe it is a Horner.I have (3) of the Horners converted to 4.8 CI.Been using them for 15 yrs,I have some of the original brochures on the engine, Bob

Gerry.
I am sure this engine is a Horner by looking at the shape of the cylinder heads in your pictures,He made (2) types of heads.It appears from looking at my brochures you have the later set which in the brochure he claims was a TOC version.In one add he said it was 9 to 1 compression and other he said 7 to 1, Weight 5 lbs in one and 4 lbs in other,RPM stated was 6500 to 11000,Plugs were NKG 10 MM.Your appears to be a converted ignition as the originals was a fixed type with pickup mounted on two lower bolts going thru engine crankcase and coil box was a rectangular aliuminum box with no markings,As far as props I would reccomend a 20" or 22",On my 4.8 conversions I use 22x8/14 or 24x10.The engine you have I would say is a 3.7 CI.Hope this helps. Bob
