Per the Wisconsin Owners/Parts Manual: Remove the guard or screen, it should be held on by 3 or 4, 1/4 stove bolts, screws. Loosten the large nut holding the flywheel on, it is probably 1-7/16, but varies, and could be 1-3/8, or even some other size. Wisconsin wasn't consittant on that, and it varies if the wngine was crank or electric start. If it's a crank start, you'll probably have to drive out the round or roll pin that the crank engages, or your socket won't fit. You'll probably need a DEEP six point socket. OK.. loosten the nut,(an air impact works good), back it out about halfway. Holding the top of the flywheel with one hand WACK the nut with a heavy hammer..the flywheel should come loose. If it doesn't..hit it again. Note ! !, I use a solid copper hammer, or Hold a tough chunk of OAK against the nut, and hit the oak..or you could mushroom the nut or damage threads, (might need another person to help if you're using a wood block. You should reall get a service and parts manual if you're going to work on these motors..because all of the procedures are in there.. and if you follow them you won't break stuff when taking it apart. Jensales, at www.--------, has most every parts and service manual for Wisconsin. Parts such as Head gaskets, complete gasket sets, valves,piston rings, fuel pumps, carb kits, are available from NAPA auto parts. Magneto parts,for Fairbanks-Morse, or Wico Magnetos, are available from many sources..points and condensers from NAPA, including this, Y/T, website under parts.. ..but you must know what you are looking for.. your specific part number may not be listed, but many magneto condensers and points interchange.
