We have the same engine on our Oliver model 12 swather. Hasn't run since the early 1990s. I've got a guy looking at it. Hope like heck we can get it working. I want to swath my oats with it next year.

had these engines on farm machinery in the 50 and 60 easy starting cold. If its hot from running and you shut it off. either immediately restart it or wait an hour for it to cool off. They can be a devil to start when the carb gets hot soaked.

I’m having a really hard time getting mine to start. Can you tell me if the coil has a big part in the starting or just the condenser, points, and plugs? Also have you ever had to replace the valve springs because they get weak and can’t properly close the valves?

I’m having so much trouble getting my VE4 to start. It “pops” just often enough to tease me to keep trying! I was talked into converting the WICO XH1343 to a ignition “chip” module. Didn’t make any significant change. I put 4 ea in-line spark plug testers on each plug. When I did finally get it started I found only the left cylinder bank sparking and running! No spark on the two right cylinders. Runs smooth though. Split wood for 3 hrs. I changed to different plug wires and throughly cleaned the cap, rotor, etc. Plugs are new and gapped per the manual. Once I got it started, same two cylinders and plugs firing on left bank, #1 & #3 only. Nothing on right side, #2 & #4. Waiting on a condenser I ordered. Guess I’ll change back to original points and condenser and remove electronic module. Any suggestions? Maybe the module will run only two cylinders?

Is the box labeled as 'copper-core' spark plug wires?

Denso brand wires I bought for some other vehicle. Type E suppression wires. I only used two of the Denso set and only one of these ison the right bank where I get no spark. The other right side cylinder has a wire that was already with the Wisconsin when I got it. But I changed it up so much that it seems unlikely I would’ve got at least one plug on the right side to spark! Thanks for your reply.

It could be 2 spark plug wires swapped or wrong magneto, older ones had a flat plane crank and the newer ones had a cross plane crank so they had different timed mags for later models

There are crank speed and half speed mags/distributors. Make sure you have the correct one for your engine
