Wisconsin engine VF4 magneto- where to get one?

Parts are available at the link below, when you do find one. He also has a number of illustrations. The only application cross reference he is missing is what each magneto came from or goes to. He does have a numerical list however it does not list your engine (list is noted to be incomplete).

If you email me with the hole center distances on your engine, as well as the diameter of the center hole, and wheather or not it uses a slot drive or gear, and which direction they are pitched, as well as well as the approximate diameter of the gear, I might have what you need. I also have a FM magneto to compare to also.

Thank you so much for replying. Unfortunately, the engine is in Yucca Valley, 120 miles away. I do, however, go up every weekend to work on a truck among other things. Next time I go up I will take measurments of those things. I have no idea how these engines are put together, but there is an area where I assume a starter should go, but the guy who sold it to me said that's where the magneto goes. I made the assumption that the electric starter doubles as a magneto/ alternator of sorts. I guess I am incorrect! So there is no such thing as electric start for this engine? I guess it's just as well. As far as I know this engine just needs the carb (Supposedly supplied), and the magneto. It would be interesting to get a manual on the engine and see how it works on paper. I will try to have some results for you by next monday, as the guy has no internet. Again, thanks for your help!

The picture is worth a thousand words. The magneto drive gear is just a single gear- the key will be to locate the timing mark, or if none, the patience to get lined up correctly. I'll email more later.

As for the head bolt- Lindsay Publications publishes/published a plan book on how to make your own "Wire EDM", and that is how you deal with pesky broken bolts, and pesky broken bolts with drill bits and "EZ outs".

Will any of these magnetos work in my VF-4?

I will email you with other details of it.

Hello all, a big thanks to all who have helped. I hosed down the engine today with a HUGE pressure washer, and to my surprise and dismay, it started SPEWING oil from the hole the magneto bolts into- huh?? Well, uhh, I'm sure it's just a nearly impossible to get to seal. That's fine, every road has it's bumps, but: I broke a head bolt off of the right hand cylinder. I bought an EZ-out thing, and broke the drill bit inside the bolt. Splendid, I said! Well, not word for word, but I got the drill bit out with some pliars I ground down. Grea,t well, no really, cos I also broke the EZ-out off inside the bolt. I said nuts to this and put the head back on. Based on the debris in the cylinders I will have to take it off again anyway (Any ideas on how to get the EZ-out.. out?). So, this is starting to be a big project, but that's OK because I got the engine and welder head technically for $300, by trading an engine I paid $300 for, that is worth $600 street. I have big high voltage generator plans for it, so I will press on! Anyway, here's the info I promised: The bolts are roughly 4" center to center. The hole is roughly 3.2" or so diameter. The teeth curve DOWNwards. Instead of trying to explain it and bothing it thoroughly, I will post a pic here.

I will email those who have parts.. Thank you all!

The opposite direction is likely indicated by the driven gear being cut with a left hand pitch instead of a right hand pitch (even though they can both run both directions- the thrust face changes side when either gear is driven one direction then the reverse), as the stub shaft beyond the slot engagement is only enough for the one gear. If there is another gear involved, it should be inside of the crankcase.
