Poulan 42.Ill take a pic of mine and post it later.Never mind,ill do it know.I didnt take a pic of the head with the webs and uindentations but mine match.What plane is it on?By chance an EF-Yak.
Scott brillellis one of his first engines was the poulan 42.I traded him a few items for one.This is another ive had.
He had a combo with an EF-Yak.But i dont remember if it was the 42,46,or both.The 46 used a rubber boot so you had to make an adaptor to fit.The 42 bolts right on to the cylinder like the pic.

Poulan engines are good old chuggers for less than frenetic flying styles.
