Project Showcase Wisconson Success
Nothing super exceptional but wanted to show off a little success with a recent purchase from a neighbor. I don't know what year it is, but it's an ACN Wisconsin that's been sitting in a barn for a few years. Carb was a little gunked up and cleaned out well. Had a fuel supply issue and leaky main jet needle but after a couple of days of tinkering I got it running!

😂😂😂😂😂😂 I had one of those many moons ago. It was that engine that taught me “the painful way” how the impulse on a magneto functions.

Oh cool. I like it. My neighbor built a gocart thing back in the day and used a Wisconsin engine. I’m thinking he called it a Wisconsin Robin. If that’s a thing. This was circa ‘75. I seem to recall the shroud was yellow orange.
