Where can I buy a new 610 Bobcat?

Where can I buy a new 610 Bobcat?

Check the mechanical spark advance in the dist down under the point plate, they do rust up and then your timing is way off. did it, everything works, the springs are all hooked up, weights move free. Pulled the carb back off, looked on the internet for a new one, WOW! Cheapest I’ve found is $225 and it’s in PA!

What should the engine RPM be on a Wisconsin Bobcat?

I believe it should be at 23 deg. The engine has to be running 2000 rpm or more to check timing , if not the advance in the dist is still retarded to make it start easier. here is a link to a repair manual for the vh4d, maybe you can find some thing here to help. http://www.wisconsinmotors.com:8080/wm/images/catalogs/wisconsin/VH4D_Repair.pdf

Is there a stuck valve on a 610 Bobcat?

I pulled the valve inspection plates and checked for a stuck valve, everything looks good s far as that goes. Took a compression test, all 4 cylinders were close to each other, maybe a little low on compression, but for it’s age and the amount of abuse that it has endured over the years, it will have to do.

Where to find distributor number on ignition kit?

If your distributor part number (located on the side of the distributor body) is not listed here, this ignition kit probably won’t fit your distributor. Note: This ignition kit’s magnet sleeve WILL NOT fit ODD-FIRE distributors. The lobes of the distributor shaft must be evenly spaced.
