The Continental F-163 is a inline4 cylinder that
is liquid cooled. Wisconsin is a V4 design that
is air cooled. I think there were several
different engines used in the R40. I don't
know about the two companies merging. I not
very fond of the Wisconsin engine, but it gets the job done. I have this same F-163 engine in
a forklift and a welding machine, very reliable
engines. I think your problem is either a hole
in your float or your needle valve. You just
have to hang in there till you find it. I will
tell you on the F-163 you should be sure your
spark gap is set at .020 and try to stay away
from Champion plugs, use A/C or Autolite. I
have found this makes a difference on the F-163
engine.

Hope this helps and post a message when you
find out whats going on.
