Setting Timing Wisconsin vh4d

greenmachine · Jan 25, 2010

I need to reset the ignition timing on a Wisconsin vh4d with a distributor.. I know you need to find the mark on the flywheel and I believe on the cover. Just not sure what marks to look for.. I dont really see anything on the flywheel. Also which cylinder is number one? Thanks guys!

Take the screen off the flywheel shroud.
Find one cooling fin that is marked/stamped with an 'X' (It is in line with the 'DC' cast on the face of the flywheel). Mark that fin with white or light yellow paint.
Cylinder #1 is the closest one to the flywheel on the left side (viewing the flywheel).
There is a small hole on the shroud at 23 degrees BTDC.
Use a timing light and make sure the engine is running at least 2000 RPM; the fin you marked should be in line with the hole.
