Hi, I've never been able to get this 8N to idle w/o the choke on since i bought it. When i bought it 16 yrs ago it had a brand new carb put on by the local tractor mobile repair guy.
I've taken it apart endless times in hopes of resurrecting what should be a good 8N but to no avail.
Today after a clean out and studying the idle jet circuit it appears the circuit CAN NOT work, and I supect it was never machined correctly to allow fuel to the jet.
See the pic below, the port coming up from the lower body half (right side circled red) is not clogged but was not drilled down far enough to connect with any other passage (its a blind hole about 1/2" from the inside bottom of the float bowl) to allow fuel to the idle circuit.
Tell me this is the issue and all i have to do is drill it to the correct depth? Or which passage should it connect up to?
Thanks,
Paul G
