A couple weeks ago my 8N (side mounted distributor and converted to 12v) quit while I was giving my 5 year ld daughter a joyride. I decided to go through it and get it ready for bush hog season so I gave it a tune up by rebuilding the carb and replacing everything in the ignition system. Not sure when everything was replaced last since I bought it less than a year ago. The things I replaced are, battery, 6v resistor that was corroded through, coil, points and condenser, plug wires and plugs. I also replaced all of the wiring and the key switch.
My problem is that it starts fine and runs normally for as long as I want but once I shut it off it doesn't want to start unless I remove the carb and take it apart (thinking the float is stuck) and put it back on.
The float seems fine and I've adjusted it to 1/4 inch from the gasket. Getting frustrated and wanted some direction.....any ideas?
Thanks
