Looks like an AH-51 Power Products; could be a late AH-47. They were used on lots of low cost chainsaws. 5.1 cubic inches, cross-scavenged. Not much power there, enough for the kids to putt around with. It's a good, reliable little engine, but that's all. Ted

I have one just like that. It is an Power Products AH 47.

As I said before: some of the later AH-47's used these air shrouds, but the vast majority of these shrouds came on AH-51's. Both cross-scavenged, both low power. You can tell it's cross-scavenged by the fact that there are no port transfer passages on each side of the lower cylinder. 2 1/2 to 3 H.P. not a bad mini bike mill. TJ

The AH47 and the AH51 have the same bore, 2.000, the stroke on the 47 is 1.500 and the 51 is 1.625, being the plug is in the middle of the head you could check the stroke with a depth mike or calipier.
