Nope sorry. This looks to be a single cylinder around a 30cc size I guess. I know that during the 70's someone did an article on this engine. I think it was rc modeler but I am not sure of it.

Thanks Les for the feedback but that is not the engine I have.

I looked for any marking on the engine I found a sticker on the side that say "G4D with a model No. 065198" the engine mount is also green. Look like a plastic cup (similar to the bell housing the B&B specialites sell for the spring starter for the G-62. I will try an find my camera and post a picture.

Thanks for the input so far. i am sure someone out there and seen or used this engine.
