It’s been a frustrating afternoon. I just finished rebuilding a Wisconsin VH4D in my Skid Steer. I’ve rebuilt one before so it’s not my first time with this particular engine.
Bored it out, new pistons, rings, valves, seats, guides, bearings, bushings, and the whole shebang.
Got it put back in the skid steer this afternoon but cannot get it to fire up. I’ve got compression (about 75lbs on each cylinder right now but the rings probably haven’t seated since it hasn’t run yet). I have a Pertronix ignition in it that was working before the rebuild. I initially had a problem with it but now seem to have a nice hot spark. I have checked, rechecked and re-rechecked the timing and it seems to be spot on. Taken the carb back off (which I also just rebuilt) and cant see anything wrong there either. I even tried a couple shots of ether while cranking with no results. It will occasionally pop but will not start. When examining the plugs only the # 1 cylinder shows any sign of ever firing.
What am I missing here? I’ve got a headache now and cant think anymore!

You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
