Wisconsin VG4D Wont start

vinman69 ยท 2021-06-03 15:43

I have a Wisconsin VG4D natural gas powered generator. I can't get it to start. It has a battery that has 2 toggles. start, hand crank and off. I can turn the shaft with a wrench so its not seized. I believe this has a magneto and no starter. it makes a clicking sound but nothing is moving. This technology is before my time. Any help is appreciated

    Do you mean won't start or won't turn over? Clicking and not turning over sounds like a starter/solonoid issue.

    Posting the same question in multiple locations can create confusion. I'll close this thread so that any further discussion can happen all in one place, here: HeavyEquipmentForums
