    Just out of curiosity, is it a vertical or horizontal shaft engine?

    That will be a blast. We had an old Manco frame that had a retro fitted 5 horse B&S on it. It would fly even with me on it.

    Assuming both halves are metal, you can use a torch to heat it up, then slip it apart...

    Also, you may want to try to soak it in some hydraulic fluid around the seam... just don't let it contact any important rubber bits or get on your skin.

    Also, caution when using a torch that some solvents can be deadly when heated and vaporized, so be careful not to have any dangerous chemicals on the parts you're hitting with the flame.
