Hi Everyone:
I have been a very satisfied member of this board for 10+ years and you guys have helped me out with my 8n and 2n tractors - especially you Dell.
Here is my question: 2n starts great, runs great and is a great tractor on my 5 foot woods finish mower. My mowing job is about 4 hours and if I stop for a 2 minute break after about 2 hours of easy mowing, it will not start. Turns over great but will not fire. If I give it a pull, it starts right up and finishes my mowing job with no problem. This is the original 6 volt system. I don't think it is the coil because once started after sitting a couple minutes, it runs perfectly. I suspected vapor lock but vented the gas cap and that did not fix the problem.
Any suggestions? Thanks
