Hi Abdul Samad,
That may be a chainsaw engine and body, but it most deff not a chain saw. Looks more like a metal or pipe cutter.
Can't answer your question, but hopefully some one will. What are you planning to do with this mate or its engine?
My queriosity has been peeked...

Yeh that's what you'd call a Demolition Saw, Cutoff Saw, Quick Cut, etc.
Anyway, I found this >> [link=http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=shindaiwa&mn=EC7500+Engine+Cutoff+Saw+(EPA)&dn=07310003]CLICK HERE[/link] which might help you?
As with a lot of chainsaws and brushcutters, the crankcase seems to be part of the casing, although with this one you should be able to mount it to something, using the rubber mounts (#29 in the diagram above).
What are you planning to do with it?
Put it on a bike or gokart or something?

Hello Guys
Thanks for such early and usefull replies.Form the link given in Dirty_Vinylpusher post it is very clear that the engine is attached with the rest of the Saw so it is not usefull foe my project.
if this saw will fulfill my needs i was going to built an rc car with it

You'll still need to keep the majority of the casing to keep the engine cool.
It's aircooled, and the fins on the flywheel pushes the air across the cylinder head.
If you take the casing off the engine might overheat.
It will be the same with any type of 2-stroke engine.
Personally I think this engine is a bit overkill for an RC car, but IF you were going to use it you could use the part that the cutting blade sits on to mount it to your car.
Same goes for a chainsaw engine - use the bolts that hold the bar for mounting.
Whichever motor you decide to use it will need to have a clutch, and I've found that weedwackers/brushcutters are easier to use as a chainsaw clutch can be difficult to mount a sprocket to.
But if you're willing to spend a bit of money on a motor you'd be better off getting a pocketbike/minimoto engine.
Then it's easy to mount it to a car AND it already has a sprocket and chain setup ready to go.
