Kid 8x8 Timing of Wisconsin VH4D

[Dozerlarry]

The set up on the KID is that the engine is down in the hull, and the flywheel is set up against a bulkhead and a large oil cooler. Unfortunately, the fly wheel is not accessible. When they were built in 1970 there was an adapter you could place on the PTO to work a timing light off the back end of the engine, but I've never seem one, only read about them.

That's probably why there hasn't been a lot of answers to this problem. Very few of us have ever even seen a Kid. I know where one's for sale but I haven't actually seen it.

Bill … Do you still need this information? I have original owners and service manuals and my motor manual has (at least I am pretty sure it has) instructions on how to time the motor. Let me know and I will dig up the info and get it posted this week yet if you need.
