I worked on and with these engines over 55 years ago. That is a boat engine. Meant to be mounted at an angle. These engines have splash lubricated rod bearings and tapered roller main bearings. They were also almost completely cast iron. Keep clean oil in the crankcase, a clean air filter and use clean lead free gas and these will last for years. They also cost about $80 in 1960 which was much more than a B&S.

Wisconsin engines are rare in the UK -although - in the 1960’s my uncle had a Massey Harris machine for making hay bales & it was powered by a V4 air cooled Wisconsin engine, that had one speed - flat out. To start it, it had a starting handle that went onto the engine’s crankshaft but when it fired up the handle spun round on the crankshaft & everyone ran for cover until the handle worked it’s way off the shaft & flew - anywhere. I was young at the time but it was an impressive engine & exciting to start.

While your here...... In New Zealand we have to cull the deer and Tahr goat populations as well, to reduce damage to the fragile native plant areas that prevent our mountain ranges from slips.And they also stop forest regeneration. Neither species are native to this country. Do you have a set method of how you cull? The West Coast of our South Island is having a population explosion. Large herds of both species have been spotted. The Covid-19 shut down was during the 'Roar' and hunters were not allowed to go out. (??I can't work that one out either??) The Tahr is approaching extinction in it's native country and our Department of Conservation 'D.O.C' wants to eradicate them entirely here. (??I know, can't figure that one out either??) They could turn it in to an extinction prevention programme, but that requires good management. (Facetious comment deliberate) Did you know we are the worlds biggest user of 1080 poison? Using 80% of the world supply! One carrot drop to target rats, dropped 104 tonnes of baited carrot over 3 days in an area with hugh tree and plant berry growth. The D.O.C mixes it in carrots and dyes the carrots green. Then they use helicopters to drop it in targeted, remote areas to kill the Rats. There are also pellets they can use to kill Possums. There are recently more effective and species targeting traps, now, that use a compressed air cartridge and garrotting wire, with scent as bait up a tube. It can take out up to 10 pests (rats, Stoats, Wessels and Possums) per unit. I rambled, sorry. Keep up the good work. If you want a decent day out, go to the South Island and join a Hunting Party. Hope your fit. Rugged, remote and vast high mountain ranges with nobody in sight for hundreds of miles.

Rather than always trying to balance a spark plug on the engine, make one fastened to a large croc clip which can be quickly clipped to the block for testing purposes.

I don't know what it is with your channel. I go oh a video lets watch it not even thinking of how long it might be. Then go oh its over. Really did I just watch a hour long video. Did not seem that way. You sir I love how you explain alot about every thing you do. I have learned so much over the past year ish I have been watching your channel.

When I was a young man working for my wife’s father he had a small engine repair shop I learned so much from him probably forgot more than I remember now but I sure wish I would’ve kept ahold of some of those old engines that ended up in the shop and eventually went to scrap engines now that are sought after but just wasn’t worth anything back then wished I would’ve had the foresight to just tuck them away! I remember many hit and miss engines that would have driven a large belt that ran many other machines that ended up in the scrapyard! Watching this makes me almost kick myself in the teeth lol
