This is sort of metalworking related because I'm about to *make* the
flywheel rather than keep searching...

But I'm looking for a source - online or not - for a flywheel and coil
for a Wisconsin Robbins WI-185 engine.

....You guys find all types of stuff. Who has a half dozen of these
laying in their junk pile?

Is same as Robin EY20 which may give you a few more places to look.
But, Subaru has really dried up parts and it's 10 yr since production
ceased on these so other than electrical and/or valves/rings/etc., it's
probably going to be tough to find anything unless, as you say, you can
find a junker somewhere to salvage from.

Did not know that the Robin EY20 is the same. Will look into that.

eBay has parts, but as most of us have learned, a solid source is
better than eBay any day.

Robin parts were available from Wisconsin engine dealers as the later
Wisconsins were Subaru built.

jackssmallengines.com has at least some stuff to keep one going
(electrical, etc.) and minimal rebuild (rings, valves, etc) but nothing
in big pieces at least in stock. Might check with them if there's any
source for such. I've always had great luck with them as far as being
reliable for what they say they'll do.

Then it's always check with the local Wisconsin distributors (presuming
there are any) and see if they've got any sources. I've a 30-yo JLG
manlift w/ an old (well, same age ) Wisconsin in it. One of the
local oil service outfits is able to get what there is from Wisconsin
for it so you may want to consider those kind of offbeat suppliers of
whatever sort there may be where you are.
