Wisconsin Distributor drive gear

willys53allis · Oct 29, 2011

My Dad has a 4 cylinder Wisconsin air-cooled powering a woodchipper. The Distributor drive gear is "fubar", his words. The distributor is a fairbanks morse type. He checked with Wisconsin, and they said it"s obsolete. He"s dealing with snow right now so i don"t have any serial #"s. Does Anyone know where to get one/have one? Thanks.

What model Wis? Are you looking for a gear or the impulse for the FM magneto?

He should take a good look at his timing gear. Here's what a Wisconsin owner found on his timing gear. Hal

My manuals for models VH4, VH4D, VE4D,and VF4D show Prestolite distributors. Case VAC uses the same distributor with a different drive gear on the distributor. He must have a magneto and not distributor. I have a couple of mags for the Wisconsin 4 cylinder engines. Also have manuals for the above mentioned engines. I also have a doner engine, with most parts, excluding pistons.

My email is open..

How does the gear on the generator shaft that drive the distributor look? You might need to replace both.

WHY not post a picture of what you are looking for... I have some Wiscy stuff around, as I'm sure do many others. But but NO Fairbanks distributor!

WICO made distributers. I've never heard of a
Fairbanks-Morse distributor. If a Wisconsin
engine had a distributor, it was usually a
Prestolite/Autolite. Do you think a Magneto
drive gear is needed..you can still buy them
new from Wisconsin, or Magneto shops. I've got
new ones for 2 cylinder engines!(wico)
