What the number itself says
Reading APUMC.049FST left to right: A is the model-year letter for 2010, PUM is the three-character code the EPA assigned to Puma Cycles as certificate holder, C marks a highway (street-legal) certification, .049 is the displacement in litres, so 49cc and FST is Puma Cycles' own sequence for that year. Nothing in the number names the factory — that comes from the certificate itself.
The engine, as described on the certificate
The test vehicle Puma Cycles submitted for this family (model ZN50QT-11) carried engine code FT1390MB.
The certificate describes a four-stroke, single-cylinder engine with 2 valves per cylinder fed by carburettor. There is a catalytic converter in the exhaust, recorded as "TWC, single bed, open loop". The head carries a pulse secondary-air (PAIR) valve.
Rated power on the record is 2 kW (about 3 hp) at 7,000 rpm, driving through a CVT (belt and variator).

Filing history and where it was sold
Puma Cycles filed one certificate under this family, for model year 2010, sold as 49-state (not certified for sale in California).
The vehicle itself is recorded as built by Foshan Fosti Motorcycle Manufacturing Co.,Ltd. in China, while the engine came from Taizhou Zhongneng (ZNEN). Chassis parts and engine parts therefore have different origins.
Certified emission levels: CO 0.7, HC 0.2, NOx 0.7 g/km.
Other records carrying the same engine code
Puma Cycles certified an engine with this code under one other family number — the same engine filed again in another year, or in an off-road and a street version:

A shared code from the same factory is a strong search lead. From a different factory it is as often a naming coincidence. Either way it narrows the search; it does not settle it — measure before you buy.
