NEON LAMP TIMING
The engine should be timed to the 23
°
advanced
position at not less than 2000 R.P.M.
The timing should be checked with a neon lamp connected
in series with No. 1 spark plug. Chalk or paint the end of the
"X" marked vane on Ihe flywheel, white. Then with the
engine operating at 2000 R.P.M. or over, allow the flash
from the neon lamp to illuminate the whitened vane. At the
time of the flash, the leading edge of the vane should line
up with the lower half of the running spark advance
timing hole on the flywheel shroud, see Fig. 13. If it does
not, the advance arm clamp screw should be loosened,
and the distributor body turned slightly clockwise or
counterclockwise, as required, until the white flywheel vane
matches up with the lower half of the advance timing hole.
Be sure advance arm clamp screw is then carefully
tightened. If the engine is running below 2000 R.P.M. when
timing, the automatic advance in the distributor will not be
fully advanced and the inaccurate timing may cause serious
damage to the engine when operating at high speeds. Mount
flywheel screen if removed - use slotted opening without
removing screen for running spark advance check only.
POINT TYPE IGNITION DISTRIBUTOR
The distributor breaker point gap should be .018 to .022
inches. To readjust breaker point gap, turn engine over by
means of the starting crank until the distributor breaker arm
rubbing block is on a high point of the cam. Loosen the
stationary contact locknut and screw fixed contact, in or
out, until correct gap is obtained. Tighten locknut and re-
check gap.
SOLID STATE IGNITION DISTRIBUTORS
Many Wisconsin engines are now being equipped with a solid
state ignition distributor. Detailed troubleshooting, repair and
parts information can be found in the rear section of this
manual.
CHARGING SYSTEM
Engines can be equipped with a 10 amp, 25 amp, or 30 amp
flywheel alternator system or a 37 amp belt driven alterna.
tor. Instructions are located in the rear of this manual.
RESTORING COMPRESSION
In a new engine or one which has been out of operation for
some time, oil may have drained off the elyinders so that
compression will be weak, causing difficulty in starting. To
remedy this condition, remove the spark plugs and pour about
a fluid ounce of crankcase oil through the spark plug hole into
each cylinder. Turn engine over several times with the hand
crank to distribute oil over the cylinder wails. Assemble spark
plugs and compression should be satisfactory.
SET GAP
Fig. 16
SPARK PLUGS, Fig. 16
Incorrect gap, fouled
or worn spark plug electrodes,
will have an adverse affect on engine operation. Re-
move spark plugs periodically, clean, regap or replace
if necessary. Thread size is 18 ram.
Spark plug gap - 0.030 of an inch.
Replacement plugs must be of the correct heat range,
like Champion No. D-16J, AC No. C86 commercial.
Tighten spark plugs, 25 to 30 {oat pounds torque.
HIGH TEMPERATURE SAFETY SWITCH
As a safety precaution against overheating, engines
can be equipped with a high temperature switch
mounted to the cylinder head at the No. 4 spark plug.
When cylinder head temperature becomes critically
high, the safety switch will automatically stop the en-
gine by shorting out the ignition system. A waiting
period of about 10 minutes will be required before the
switch has cooled off sufficiently to re-start the en-
gine. An overheated engine will score the cylinder
walls, burn out connecting rod and crankshaft bear-
ings, also warp pistons and valves. The cause of the
overheating condition will have to be remedied before
the engine is re-started. See Engine Overheats para-
graph in Troubles, Causes and Remedies section.
Service Kit is available - see parts list section.
KEEP ENGINE CLEAN -PREVENT OVERHEATING
(Agricultural and Industrial Engines)
This engine is cooled by blasts of air which must be
allowed to circulate all around the cylinders and cyl-
inder heads to properly cool the engine and thereby
keep it in good running condition. If dust, dirt or
chaff is allowed to collect in the cylinder shrouding
or in the V between the cylinders, it will retard the
flow of air and cause the engine to overheat. Keep
flywheel screen and rotating screen clean, so as not
to restrict the intake of cooling air.
With reference to Fig. 17; follow the cleaning and
maintenance instructions pointed out, to obtain
trouble fre~ and satisfactory engine performance.
1. Remove these covers frequently and clean out all
dust, dirt and chaff. Be sure to replace covers.
