wisconsin vg4d help

[Karman]

Hi, we have aquired a vg4d, appears to have been setting a good while & the carb was stored out of the weather. Last owner says needs magneto attention. I am not a real experienced mech. but I know with some help will be able to get this machine running. Where should I begin? Thanks! BTW egine is mounted to a very large water pump we want to use.

I assume the engine turns OK.

Check the engine has a good blue spark - it should jump 3/8 inch when the magneto impulse clicks over. No need to turn it fast to check the spark.

If no click from the magneto the impulse coupling needs fixing. If a red or orange spark the condenser needs replacing. If no spark meay need a full overhaul by good outo electritian.

Best wishes
