2-cylinder Wisconsin

Posted by Bus Driver on July 02, 2004 at 16:52:52 from (66.226.35.63):

Was at tractor show today. Small homemade "John Deere" about size of an L or LA. Man said had Wisconsin engine. Saw lots of 2-cylinder Wisconsin on New Holland balers in the 1950's, none sounded like a JD. This one sounded like a JD, exactly. Man said that Wisconsin made different 2-cylinder models, some with crank throws arranged like JD (one piston up while the other is down) and some with both pistons top or bottom simultaneously (this latter crank arrangement I know would have even firing order). Man said both crank styles of Wisconsin had even firing order, but he used the model with the one up, one down crank and made it fire unevenly by "cutting the cam". From what I know (or think I know) of engines, it is impossible to have a 2-cylinder inline 4-cycle engine with one up, one down crank and an even firing order. No point in arguing with the man, so not a word of dissent from me to him. But one of us is very confused. So tell me what you know of 2-cylinder Wisconsin and the crank arrangement. Is my understanding of cranks and firing orders wrong?
