    old Wisconsin engine ID

    I am technologically challenged and don't know how to post pictures. I could get my grandkids to do pictures for me, but I have not done that yet. The flywheel on your engine is not like mine. Mine is two pieces bolted together--vanes on one and the other is solid cast. Also yours has cogs...

    old Wisconsin engine ID

    Today I pulled the head off and found the piston to be 3 5/8ths inches in diameter and the stroke is a full 4 inches. Those spec's along with the internal governor add up to AHH and 9.2 HP. I would still be interested in anything anyone knows about the unique flywheel.

    old Wisconsin engine ID

    Thanks, I thought that was what I had but the ASECC spec's say the AE, AEH and AEHS all have air vane governors. This one is clearly an internal flyball governor; and the flywheel is a solid disc casting with a mild steel ring and vanes bolted on its face. I have never seen a flywheel made...

    old Wisconsin engine ID

    I have the spec sheets from ASECC. I guess the only way to tell is to pull the head and measure the piston diameter and stroke length. Right? At this point I am thinking AHH. Thanks.' I am still very curious about the two-piece flywheel, though. Ken

    old Wisconsin engine ID

    Thank you for the tip. This engine has an internal weighted governor so it must be neither. What do you suggest? Ken

    old Wisconsin engine ID

    It is cast for a base-mounted magneto and I have the right one for it. Thanks. Ken

    old Wisconsin engine ID

    I recently acquired and am restoring an old Wisconsin single cylinder engine. From pictures and manuals I have been able to identify it as an AE or AH series; but the ID plate is totally missing. It is a tall cast iron engine (two feet) tall and it weighs well over 100 pounds. The carb, air...

    Antique Zenith carb on 1 HP Lauson engine

    That would be great. I would be interested in a coil if you have the right one because I am not sure the Evinrude coil will fit even though the picture looks good. I do not need the carb--I have gone through it and cleaned it up. I don't think anything in it needed to be replaced. Yesterday...

    Antique Zenith carb on 1 HP Lauson engine

    Thanks for the rapid response. The flywheel on this engine is an Eisemann 61-DA, serial 48-L . I may have found a coil that will work. It's from an Evinrude engine by Lauson and it appears to have the right shape for this odd stator. Do you know anything about the Zenith carb I described...

    Antique Zenith carb on 1 HP Lauson engine

    I am restoring a 1948 Lauson horizontal shaft engine. I need a magneto coil for it--the rest of the magneto looks great. Also I cannot find any information about the carburetor. It is a Zenith with a straight-through horizontal barrel. The choke and excelerator butterflies are vertical in...

    Jolly Hoe rototiller

    To Dillrod: I would be interested in hearing how it goes for you; and any discussion you may have about the machine.

    Jolly Hoe rototiller

    :wink: I haven't put much money in it; and I don't intend to. It is mostly cleanup, paint and carburetor gaskets. I did replace the worn-out brass bushings with needle bearings and put new oil seals on the tine shaft.

    Jolly Hoe rototiller

    :wink: Does anyone know anything about Jolly Hoe rototillers. I picked one up recently and am completely rebuilding it. It is very unique and I can find virtually no information about it. It has a cast iron tine shroud, engine mount and transmission. It is driven by a very old Clinton...
