Identifying an engine

[stone]

Hopefully someone can help
I've got an unknown Honda engine that came with an off road buggy I've purchased.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction to identify what it is and what it came out of? It's got 249cc on the block and a serial number starting MC10E-2000. I'm struggling to find anything on the net Also it's electric start. Before I see whether I can get it running ideally I'd like to know how powerful it is.

Thanks

According to this it's out of a GB250...

So next question. Is it worth putting into an off road buggy? Any recommendations for something reasonably light but more powerful? Ideally 50ish HP with plenty of low down grunt.
The Honda engine came with a load of parts that I bought for the buggy so was essentially free but don't want to start building around it without checking the options. Unfortunately I know very little about bike engines

if you have the cdi unit maybe if not forget it .

If you don't mind watercooled GPz500?
For 50-60HP you're probably talking a 500 twin.

Stick an sp1 engine in it, It'll have plenty of low down grunt and go like f*ck, Seen a video of one somewhere on the net. will be a bit over 60 bhp prob about 125
