2-stroke engine from 1988

[Alpenflitzer]

My Saxonette 0.7 HP two stroke engine with 30 ccm is now running for 35 years.
What has been repaired or replaced?
1 Exhaust........1 Piston ring......5 Spark plugs.......1 ignition cable........All bearings one time.....1 new Carburettor......
1 ignition module......and some nuts, bolts and sealing rings.

Why can`t they produce today such a quality?

Looks like a tranny to me. Where's the piston/crankshaft at? Maybe that's some type of weird aircraft motor?

Maybe this exkplosion view shows it better.

IC thanks. Sachs has been building motors for a long time. I can't count how many places I've worked that used surplus WW2 machinery and were still kickin it. Even the electric motors driving them were OG.

What do you use that engine for?
