I am looking at a trike which has the letters and numbers on the crankcase as follows : AH 250-17... The owner says it is a bus engine, I think it is a type I instead. What is it actually?

Dual port 1600. Same engine was used in the early buses along with bugs. The bus didn't get its own engine until the type 4 came out.

Beginning in 1968 buses began using a rear engine support AKA mustache bar. They used this through the 1971 model year with upright dual port engine. 1971 bus would be a one year only application for this in dual port form, 68 through 70 being single port. But it is possible you have a bus engine and decoding the serial number would tell the story.
