Vintage Arco minibike

Just Google image search “ARCO mini bike seat suspension” and you should see some examples. That said, ARCO built some with the seat just fastened flat to the top of the frame, even though the lower shock mounts were present on the frame. You’ll probably see that configuration in your search as well.
Looks pretty complete, other than missing the fuel tank and the seat being modified to do without the shocks.
On the air cleaner, just unfasten it, rotate it 180-degrees, and reattach.

Looks like a Tecumseh H30.

I’d probably not waste any time and effort on that old engine, especially needing such a large repair. You could likely get a better HS40/50 Tecumseh engine off a snowblower or a tiller and be time, money, power, and parts availability ahead. In the end, I don’t think that particular mini is nice or desirable enough to fret too much about engine originality. That said, a newer Tecumseh will look the part just fine.
