Hi all,
I've owned my 48 8N for almost 20 years now. From the first day I took ownership I noticed a miss at idle and figured it was just a minor tune up issue. Over the years I've tried to hunt it down, and then just accepted it. Now I'm back to trying to get rid of the problem.
Here is some info:
[list:95d71b267e]1948 8N frontmount
Converted to 12v with EI last year with new "everything" (wires, plugs, coil, etc)
Had the carb rebuilt about 5 years ago by a member of this board
No trouble running, starts quickly, has plenty of power, accelerates with authority and without stumbling
It does not miss when first started, it only starts to miss after it gets hot.
There is no difference in the miss from when it as 6V points to 12V EI
It doesn't miss under load. If I have it at slow idle, and then drive up a slight incline the miss goes away[/list:u:95d71b267e]
Truth be known, everything else about the tractor is fine and it does everything I want without problem. But, I want to fix this if possible.
Here is a short video in case that helps:

Thanks for any ideas !
